Saagu Bon'Dibaiy ~ Maldivian Sago Pudding
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 250 gm sago pearls
- 1/2 can condensed milk can use a small can
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp pandan extract refer notes
- 2 tbsp rose water refer notes
Instructions
- Boil the sago in 2 litres of water till it becomes almost transparent, with a small white portion inside.
- Strain into a colander and wash well to remove the starch.
- Add back into the pan, along with the condensed milk and sugar. Bring to simmer and cook till the sugar melts and the sago looks entirely done.
- Add the flavors and switch off. Keep it closed to allow the flavors to mingle.
- Enjoy warm or cold...
Notes
If you are using pandan, add one leaf along with the condensed milk and sugar and remove off while serving.
If using rose essence instead of rose water, then add around a tsp.
Add more sugar if needed.
