Ingredients
- 65 g (⅓ cup) sago
- 110 g (½ cup) caster sugar
- 2 sugar bananas
- 250 ml (1 cup) coconut milk
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds, toasted
Soaking time 1 hour
Instructions
Place sago in a bowl, cover with cold water and leave for 1 hour, then drain well. Combine sago, 500 ml (2 cups) water, sugar and a pinch of salt in a saucepan and slowly bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring, over low medium heat for 15 minutes or until sago is translucent.
Peel bananas, then cut into 5-mm slices on the diagonal. Add to sago mixture, stir gently to combine, then cook for 3 minutes or until bananas are softened. Stir in coconut milk, then remove pan from heat and cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, sprinkled with sesame seeds.
