Step 1
Break coconut shells with a hammer or the back of a heavy cleaver. Add coconut water to a saucepan. Pry flesh from shell with a heavy-duty knife. Peel and discard skin with a vegetable peeler. Cut coconut flesh into thin slices.
Step 2
Add sugar and pandan leaf to the saucepan; heat over medium heat. Add agar-agar powder; stir until dissolved. Stir in sliced coconut flesh.
Step 3
Discard pandan leaf. Pour jelly mixture into individual cups or ramekins. Cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Serve chilled.
