Prepared this beautiful panacotta from garden flowers. Tried preparing for the first time with this lovely looking flowers (blue pea vine /Clitoria ternatea). I was blown away with the beautiful colour.
For this recipe have used agar agar. Agar agar is a natural vegetable gelatin, it’s made from plant source not animal. It is loaded with fiber, there is no carbs, fat , calories or sugar. It acts as a laxative. It absorbs bile and thus dissolves more cholesterol.
