Ingredients

  • ½ cup sago or tapioca pearls
  • 2 cups water divided
  • 3 tablespoons condensed milk

Sago mix:

  • Rinse the sago and soak in ½ cup of water for 1 hour.

  • Take 1 ½ cups of water in a pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Drain the soaked sago, add it to the pot and once it starts boiling, cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes till they turn transparent. Stir frequently to prevent the sago from clumping together or sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Notes

  1. Sago must be soaked so they cook faster. It should be cooked on low heat to avoid them clumping together or sticking to the pan.
  2. Fresh mangoes taste best in the recipe. canned or frozen mangoes may also be used if fresh ones are unavailable.
