Ingredients
  • 12 water chestnuts peeled and cubed
  • ¾th cup of tapioca flour
  • 3-4 tbsp strawberry crush
  • Coconut milk 1 cup
  • To make sugar syrup
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 Cup water
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of organic red food colour(optional)
Instructions
  1. To make Red Rubies :
  2. Peel the water chestnuts. Halve each water chestnut horizontally to form 2 discs, then cut each disc into 2 pieces (4 pieces per chestnut)
  3. Transfer the water chestnut pieces into a bowl. In strawberries crush, soak water chestnut pieces and add few drops of organic red food colour (purely optional)also for around 10 minutes.
  4. In Thailand a red syrup is used, which is tangy in taste. I have substituted that syrup with strawberries crush.
  5. After 10 minutes drain it from strawberry syrup and coat well with tapioca flour, so that it will not leak the red colour afterwards.
  6. After 10 minutes shake off the tapioca flour from water chestnut pieces.
  7. Put in colander and dust off the excess flour, if any.
  8. Bring a deep pot filled with water to rolling boil. Drop coated chestnut pieces in water. After 3-4 minutes pieces would start to float above the water.
  9. Keep a bowl filled with ice cold water ready. Now drain chestnut pieces and put them in ice cold water.
  10. To make Sugar Syrup:
  11. Combine sugar and water in a small pot. Simmer and stir it until all the sugar has dissolved.
  12. Remove impurities with the help of a slotted spoon.
  13. In between keep stirring the syrup.
  14. Switch off the flame once it is done.
  15. Add coconut milk.once it is cooled a bit, otherwise the chance of coconut milk getting curdled is high.
  16. Now switch on the stove and keep the flame on low.
  17. Keep stirring it constantly so that the syrup and coconut milk gets incorporated nicely.
  18. It will start to thicken meanwhile.Stir for few more minutes.
  19. Remove the syrup from the stove. Keep it aside to cool. Pour into glasses and keep it in the fridge to chill for some time.
  20. At the time of serving Tub Tim Grob | Red rubies Thai dessert, add ruby red water chestnut cubes to chilled coconut milk.
  21. Note :
  22. This recipe is fasting friendly and can be made during those days. Please skip using red colour, if you want to have for Upvaas and you are good to go.
