Thai coconut pandanus gelatin

Thai coconut pandanus gelatin or "Kha Nom Wun Kati Bai Tua: ขนมวุ้นกะทิใบเตย" in Thai. It is Thai jelly made from agar agar and pandanus leaves. The pandanus leaves gives the green colour and the agar agar gives it a firm texture. This is very easy to make and it can be served in all occasions for everybody. You can do with out pandanus leave as well but the gelatin is just white.

Ingredients for making jelly:
1) 1 Tbsp agar agar Powder
2) 5 pandanus leaves ( 1/2 cup extract of pandanus )
3) 1/2 cup sugar
4) 3 cups of water

Ingredients for making topping:
1) 1 Tbsp agar agar powder
2) 1 cup of water
3) 2 cups coconut milk
4) 1/2 cup sugar
5) 1/4 tsp salt

Preparation:
1) Agar-Agar power.

3) Put cut pandanus leave into a blender with 1 cup of water.

7) And 1/2 cup of sugar.
8) And stir until sugar and agar-agar dissolved.
9) Then strain through a very fine sieve or cheesecloth. I don't have any of them but I used strainer to remove any undissolved sugar.
10) Put the pot back in the medium heat and pour the pandanus juice into the pot.
11) Stir for another 5 minutes then remove from the heat.
12) Pour straight into moulds and leave to cool. Agar sets very quickly and it's better to pout it into moulds when hot. Or you can pour on the tray as well.
