Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup sago pearls Rinse before using to remove excess starch.
  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes, diced Choose ripe but firm mangoes.
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup sugar (optional) Add for extra sweetness if desired.
  • 1 pinch salt

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed sago pearls, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook for 10-15 minutes until translucent, then strain and rinse under cold water.
  2. While the sago cooks, peel and dice the mangoes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sago pearls with diced mangoes. Pour in coconut milk, a pinch of salt, and sugar if desired. Mix gently.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve in individual bowls, garnished with extra mango or coconut flakes.

Notes

For perfect texture, monitor the cooking time; avoid overcooking the sago. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days; best when fresh. Reheat gently with a splash of coconut milk.
