Mango Sago Dessert

You can have the recipe first, I will make when i am free.

Mango Sago Dessert
Ingredients:
1/4 cup small sago pearls
2 tbsp sugar (add more sugar if you like,)
500ml water
180ml evaporated milk
1 cup mango puree
2 mangoes (cubed)

Optional: Mango pudding cubes, pomelos (peeled and divided into pulps)

Steps:

Cooking the sago
1. Soak sago pearls in water for 30 mins.
2. Bring a pot of water to boil and then add the sago.
3. Let the sago cook for about 5 mins and turn off the heat immediately (some sagos may still be uncooked, but do not worry about it).
4. Cover the pot with a lid and let it stand for 20 mins.
5. Rinse the sagos under cold running water to stop the cooking. Avoid using a strong flow of water as it may squash the soft sagos.
6. Drain the water from the sagos.

Making the mango sago dessert
1. Dissolve the sugar in the water by boiling it in a pot.
2. Allow the sugar syrup to cool before adding the evaporated milk and mango puree. Stir to mix well.
3. Check the consistency of the mango base. Add water or milk as you wish to get the consistency you desire.
4. Add in the sagos, mango cubes and other optional ingredients you want.
5. Chill in the fridge for an hour and serve cold
