Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe mangoes, diced
  • 1 cup sago (tapioca pearls)
  • 2 cups coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup sugar adjust to taste
  • a pinch salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the sago pearls in cold water until the water runs clear.
  2. In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the rinsed sago pearls and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
  3. Cook the sago for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent. Drain and rinse the pearls under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Coconut Mixture
  1. In a separate pot, combine coconut milk, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat gently over low heat until sugar dissolves, being careful not to boil.
Combine Ingredients
  1. Once the sago pearls are ready, add them to the warm coconut mixture. Stir gently to combine and remove from heat.
  2. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
Add Mango
  1. Dice the ripe mangoes and fold half into the cooled pudding mixture. Reserve the remaining half for topping.
Chill and Serve
  1. Pour the mango sago pudding into serving bowls or a large dish. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set and chill.
  2. Before serving, top each bowl with the remaining diced mangoes.

Notes

Substitutions: Frozen mango can be used if fresh mango isn't available. For a lighter version, consider using light coconut milk. Timing: Sago pearls cook quickly, monitor them to avoid overcooking.
