Simultaneously, in another bowl, melt the china grass along with the water, till you don't see any strands. Ensure to keep the flame on simmer.
Once the china grass has melted into the water, pour this mixture into the hot milk mixture and give a good stir. Cook for a few minutes till the whole mixture looks incorporated.
Strain this mixture into a serving glass tray and set aside to cool. As it cools, it will harden. Keep in the fridge to set completely.
Meanwhile to make the praline, heat the sugar with a couple of tablespoons of water on low flame. Cook till the sugar melts and reaches a beautiful amber color.
Add the cashew nuts and toss. Spread onto a greased surface till hardened. Using a rolling pin, crush the praline.
To serve, sprinkle the crushed praline on top of the cold pudding, slice and enjoy!
Notes
Make sure that the milk mixture and the melting of china grass is happening on low flame at all time.
