Sago Gula Melaka

This is a popular favourite, but too often commercial versions are short on the sago and coconut milk, while the Gula Melaka (palm sugar) is not fragrant and caramelized. Try this simple recipe and you will never go back to bazaar Sago Gula Melaka again.

Method

Simmer the sago in a pot of hot water for 30 mins, stir frequently to keep from sticking. While the sago cooks, boil the coconut milk with water and salt. Allow to cool. Dice the palm sugar, and heat until fragrant.

To serve, mound the sago, pour on the coconut milk and add the palm sugar mixture to taste.

Healthy tips:  

You can reduce the palm sugar and brown sugar. For a more intense flavour, heat the palm sugar until it caramelises.
