Mango and Vanilla Layered Panna Cotta

Hello all, this is my very first post; from past few months very idea of starting my own blog was on my mind. Finally I took the call and started my own food blog. 

In many households in India there is a belief that whenever we start anything new we should make something sweet at home or we buy sweets from outside. Since I am writing my first blog I thought why not start with a dessert which is very easy and quick to make.

Summers are coming to an end soon and very soon monsoon shall hit. Before mangoes go out of season I wanted to make something special with them and I came across pannacotta recipe in one of the episodes of Master Chef. Another reason was my daughter, she likes mangoes and I wanted to make something special for her.

Here goes the recipe, easy and quick to make perfect dessert for guests.
