A pinch of salt
Method
Simmer enough water in a pot.
Add sago. Stir and cook till translucent.
Drain off water and rinse sago under running water.

ReplyDeleteNava, this is such a healthy dessert. loved the colors, pics, everything about it and even your writing.
ReplyDeleteWow, wow - what can I say, I wanna grab that spoon and jump straight in. Looks creamy, colorful & drool worthy!! The presentation is perfect too.
ReplyDeleteAs per your post this is one of the most popular sweet dishes in Malaysia, since I have never heard this before, to me it looks more like a perfect gourmet dish in itself. Never have seen 'green sago' anywhere either.
Also about blogging, yes initially it was like a daily chore but now it is more like fun, I think once we get the rhythm , we just play along.
Delicious drink. U r right, v r all connected thru blogging

In fact I bought sago immediately after that wanting to give it my own little twist. And now I see this..my desire has gone up threefolds.I love that you added sweet potato to it..that was creative and looks fantastic. And totally agree on your thoughts about blogging:-)
