  Hii
  My mom would prepare china grass halwa.it was a very light dessert item.as far as i remember,boil 3 cups water ,add finely crushed 1 cup of china grass and wait till it melts completely.then add about 1 and 1/4 cup sugar and let it dissolve.(when u put a pinch of this on cold water it should stand)thats when its done.pour into greased dessert cups or greased plate.decorate with almond slivers and chopped pista.cool at room temperature and then cut into pieces from the plate.no need to cut pieces if using cups.let me know how it turned out.

  I think china grass and agar-agar are same. If so, can prepare payasam too. Have not tried, but saw the recipe somewhere.

  Is it called as Kadal pasi in Tamil ?
  
  A kind of drink Jigarthanda (available in Madurai) is made up with Kadal pasi.
