Tell me then? The common ingredients for our Malaysian local desserts (Kuih Gula Melaka, Payasam & Pandan Coconut Jelly)? Coconut, sago, Gula Melaka/palm sugar, daun pandan/screwpine leaves and other local produce right? Of course if you are asking me (Malaysian Sago Pudding, Saffron Poached Pears & Sago Gula Melaka). Play around with these ingredients and without you realising, you will be a Malaysian dessert winner. Pretty much what I do mostly (Coconut Panna Cotta, Bubur Cha Cha & Bubur Kacang Hijau), of course, there is the baking I do whenever my baking mode is alerted (Lemon Bars). Otherwise, like I have already told you, nothing can come to our locality. Take this Pumpkin Sago Dessert for the matter. Easy-preasy and never will ever let us down (Honeydew Sago).
Ingredients
(or as per taste)
1/4 pumpkin - remove skin, seeds and cut
into medium size pieces
1/2 cup sago - soak for 1/2 hour and
gently rinse under running water.
1 cup coconut milk
1 medium piece palm sugar (or white
sugar)
4 to 5 pandan/screwpine leaves
Method
Simmer sago with enough water till translucent.
Drain off water, rinse and keep aside.
Add pumpkin and pandan leaves in a pot
with enough water (about 2 cups)
Simmer till tender.
Remove leaves and add translucent sago.
Stir and pour in coconut milk.
Stir, heat through and remove from
heat.
Simmer palm sugar with enough water for
a thick syrup and serve with pumpkin sago.
interesting twist.. Yum! I am big fan of pumpkin
ReplyDeletedelicious dessert...

ReplyDeleteHi Nava, totally agreed with you. Blogging is not as simple as cook, click and post. It takes patience, planning, organizing, skills in cooking and photography as well as presentation. Next session set your camera on remote control or timer on a tripod and you will have beautiful pics of yourself cooking in the kitchen, hahaha..
ReplyDeleteVery refreshing and yummy pumpkin sago. Very nice clicks too of your desserts, definitely taken by you, right? hahhaha... Take care and regards :)

ReplyDeleteI'm laughing my head off! That could have been my husband taking pictures! Unlike you, I get upset with his photography skills! He's trying to improve though!
ReplyDeleteLovely dessert and I absolutely love the bright and colorful pictures!
You know, maybe one master photographer is enough for a family!

ReplyDeleteI couldn't stop laughing when I was trying to visualise your reaction on looking at the photographs:-) I think bloggers are multi talented and it requires a lot to keep at it for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI love sago pudding especially with palm sugar. Have to try this one out. That colour is lovely!
Though I still swear by sagoo mango dessert .... this looks wow ... may be i get the courage to prepare a dessert with pumpkin someday before closing my eyes...
