Sagu Gula Melaka

This delicacy dessert i made for dinner last weekend... and another dessert , kuih akok kelantan bake using oven. for akok i will upload later coz buat masa ni i'm so bz... kluar pagi balik malam... and dah tired.... this dessert pun i curi masa pagi.... try my best to update resepi....

Anyway... this dessert can eat chill or warm.... but for me, i prefer chill.. especially pada ptg yang panas....


Ingredients :
2 cups of biji sagu (saiz kecil) (i guna 1 pack by at C4)
5 cups of water
1 cups of pandan extract (from grounded pandan leaves)

* or u can use 6 cups of water, add a few drops of green food coloring and few drops of pandan essence.


for gravy :
3 cups of coconut milk (santan pekat)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp of halba
1 tbsp of cornstarch (mix with 1 1/2 cups of water)


for gula melaka syrup :
4 rings of palm sugar (gula melaka, i use kampung gula melaka with thin ring , kelantan call nise)
3 pandan leaves
1 cup of water


Method :

for sagu :
Boil water over medium heat. Add in biji sagu, stirr until all water absorb by biji sagu. Keep stirring until u see the white part of biji sagu turn to half size by the original size. Then turn of the heat. pour sagu into individual dessert cup or in square baking pan or tupperware. let it cool.

* the white part at the centre of biji sagu will fully come to transparent by the time its cool... maybe u can see a very little white part, thats should be ok.

for santan gravy :
mix all ingredients in a small pot and bring to simmer over medium heat. keep stirring to have a smooth gravy without lumps. remove from heat when its slightly thick. set a side.

for gula melaka syrup :
Bring to boil palm sugar, water and pandan leaves until all the palm sugar dissolve. If u want this syrup slightly thick, just keep simmer for another few minutes and turn off the heat. let it cool.


To serve :
Put a small cut of sagu in a dessert bowl. pour santan gravy and add 1 tbsp of gula melaka syrup. add more syrup if u like sweet. Finish with few cube of ice, and serve
