Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup ripe mango pulp (fresh or canned)
  • 1/2 cup small tapioca pearls (sago)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or condensed milk
  • 1 tbsp sugar (optional, adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup chopped mangoes (for topping)
  • 1/2 cup water (to dilute milk, optional)
  • Mint leaves (for garnish – optional)
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook the Sago Pearls:
    Boil water in a pot. Add sago and stir continuously to prevent sticking.
    Cook until translucent (10–15 minutes).
    Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
  • Prepare the Mango Base:
    Blend ripe mangoes into a smooth puree. You can use fresh or canned pulp.
    Mix the mango pulp with coconut or condensed milk. Adjust sweetness with sugar if needed.
    Thin the mixture with a little water or milk if it’s too thick.
  • Combine Ingredients:
    Add the cooked sago pearls into the mango-milk mixture. Stir well.
    Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour.
  • Serve:
    Serve cold, topped with mango cubes and mint leaves.
    Add ice cubes if desired.

Notes

  • Overcooking sago can make it too mushy. Keep an eye while boiling.
  • For a vegan version, use coconut milk and skip condensed milk.
  • You can blend mangoes with milk and refrigerate a day in advance.
