Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preparing Sago
Begin by rinsing the sago pearls thoroughly under cold water. This helps to remove excess starch.
Step 2: Boiling Sago
In a pot, bring water to a boil and add the rinsed sago. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the pearls turn translucent.
Step 3: Cooling Sago
Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and drain the sago. Rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
Step 4: Making Mango Puree
Peel and chop ripe mangoes. Blend the mango pieces in a blender until smooth and creamy. Adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding sugar or honey.
Step 5: Mixing Ingredients
In a bowl, combine cooled sago, mango puree, and coconut milk. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
Step 6: Chilling the Mixture
Transfer the mixture to serving glasses or bowls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to allow chilling and for flavors to meld.
Step 7: Serving
Remove the chilled sago-mango mixture from the refrigerator. Optionally, top with fresh mango pieces or mint leaves before serving.

Feel free to adjust the sweetness to your liking, as mangoes can vary in sweetness.
