Step 2: End Result, the Pot/Basket!

Please refer the full video!

Step 3: Making of Flowers!

Here I planned to make three colour flowers as below:
1. Orange
2. Yellow
3. White

The process, for three of them are almost the same. But proportion is more important. So should be mindful, when adding ingredients and appropriate flavours.

Step 4: Orange Flower, Cooking Process!

For Orange colour, I choose carrot as main ingredient.

Preparation:
1. Peel the outer skin of carrots.
2. Slice them evenly.
3. Boil them in water, till it is cooked.
3. Allow it to cool.
5. Drain the carrots and keep aside the water.
6. Add the boiled carrots, to a blender along with required sugar.
7. Make it until, thick paste; Add little water if required.

Now, for making the base:
1. To the carrot boiled water, add required amount of corn flour(in proportion of the carrot).
2. Add little amount of Rose flavouring agent(any of your choice). Rose would be ideal.

Cooking process:
Before starting cooking, keep a greased pan ready.
1. Mix both the blended carrot and Corn flour water. Add them to a pan.
2. Keep the pan in medium flame in stove.
3. Stir continuously without taking out the hands; else, corn flour would soon settle down to the bottom of the pan quickly.
4. Once the mix turns thick, spread the content to the greased pan. Tap the sides, to make it even across.
5. Keep them in refrigerator (not in freezer) for 5-6 hours.

Step 5: White Flower, Cooking Process!

For white, plain milk would do!

Preparation:
1. To a bowl, add milk(not require to be boiled).
2. Add required amount of sugar to the milk.
3. Now, add corn flour, followed by few drops of vanilla essence.
Whenever you add corn flour, keep stirring the content. Else, it would soon settle down at the bottom.

Cooking process:
Before starting cooking, keep a greased pan ready.
1. Pour the content in the bowl, to a pan
2. Keep the pan in medium flame in stove.
3. Stir continuously without taking the hands out.
4. Once the mix thickens, pour the mix to the greased pan and spread it over.
5. Keep them in refrigerator (not in freezer) for 5-6 hours.


Step 6: Yellow Flower, Cooking Process!

As it is a mango season here, I choose it as main ingredient for colour yellow.

Preparation:
1. Slice out the pulp out of mangoes and put them in a blender.
2. Add required amount of sugar to it.
3. Blend it till a smooth mixture.
4. To a small bowl, mix corn flour with water and keep it aside. If you require any flavour, you may add to this mix.

Cooking process:
Before starting cooking, keep a greased pan ready.
1. Add the mango purée to a pan.
2. Keep the pan in medium flame in stove. Stir continuously.
3. Once the mix start to release bubbles, now add the corn flour mixture to the mango content.
3. Stir continuously without taking out the hands; else, corn flour would soon settle down to the bottom of the pan quickly.
4. Once the mix turns thick, spread the content to the greased pan. Tap the sides, to make it even across.
5. Keep them in refrigerator (not in freezer) for 5-6 hours.

Step 7: Assemble, the Pot!

By this time, the mixture kept in refrigerator would have set to thick.

Take out the Orange, White and Yellow content from the refrigerator and start to make the colourful basket with the pot which we made in step1.

Step 8: Chum Chum, Out of White Layer!

I added desiccated coconut as a coat for the white layer.
