Mango sago recipe with step-by-step instructions
Start the process by soaking sago/tapioca pearls. I soak it for 30 minutes before cooking. Take 2 cups of water in a saucepan. Let it boil and add the washed and soaked sago. Cook until it turns transparent. Strain it in a fine mesh colander and wash it under running cold water. So that it stops overcooking and sticking together.
Take a bowl. Add the cooked sago pearls, mango puree, boiled and chilled milk, sweetened condensed milk, mango jelly, and chopped mango chunks. Gently mix this and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. It tastes best when served chilled.
Frequently asked questions
Absolutely yes. You can replace whole milk with coconut milk and sweetened condensed milk with vegan condensed milk.
You can cook sago and store it in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. When it is the day, just mix all the ingredients together and serve them.
You can add ice cubes to the mango sago while serving if there is no time to refrigerate. I felt that adding ice cubes diluted the mango flavor.
Store the leftover mango sago (which is impossible unless you made a big batch) in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. It will stay good for 2 to 3 days.
| Notes 1. This recipe has the privilege of customizing as per your liking or the availability of the ingredients. If you don’t have condensed milk, you can skip it and add the required sugar. 2.
