Ingredients

  • 200 g Sago
  • 50 g Sugar
  • 10 g Tapioca Flour
  • 80 g Thick Coconut Milk
  • A pinch of salt
  • 20 g Water added to the coconut milk mixture
  • 20 g Concentrated Pandan Juice added to the pandan mixture

Concentrated Pandan Juice

  • 40 g Pandan Leaves
  • 200 g Water

Coconut Syrup

Freshly Grated Coconut

  • 200 g Freshly Grated Coconut
  • 1 Pandan Leaf
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Prepare concentrated pandan juice. Blend tender pandan leaves with water, filter, and refrigerate overnight to allow sedimentation. The next day, you can skim off the clear liquid on top with a spoon or use a syringe to extract the most concentrated portion, depending on your preference.
  • Soak sago for 30 minutes.
  • Cut pandan leaves into small pieces, add freshly grated coconut and a pinch of salt, and mix well. Steam over high heat for 5 minutes. Remove and let cool.
  • Dissolve palm sugar with water and set aside.
  • Prepare a large bowl, place a scale underneath, and pour in the drained soaked sago.
  • Add sugar, tapioca flour, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt, paying attention to the total weight. Mix well.
  • Divide the mixture into three equal portions.
  • Add palm sugar syrup to one portion, concentrated pandan juice to another, and water to the third. Mix each portion thoroughly and set aside.
  • First, pour the palm sugar mixture into a container and steam over high heat for 15 minutes. After steaming, pour in the coconut milk mixture and steam for another 15 minutes. Add the last portion and steam for 20 minutes, then turn off the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  • Once completely cooled, slice and coat with steamed grated coconut before enjoying.
