Ingredients
- 300 g sago
- pinch of ground cinnamon
- 3 pieces fresh or dried mace, plus extra, to serve
- ¼ cup grated dark palm sugar
- 100 g white sugar
- 1 litre (4 cups) coconut cream
Instructions
Place the sago and 1 litre (4 cups) water in a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it comes to the boil. When it starts to thicken, add the cinnamon, mace, sugars and all but 2 tbsp of the coconut cream. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring continuously (or the mixture will stick to the base of the pan) for 8–10 minutes, or until the sago is translucent.
Remove from the heat, then divide among bowls. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tbsp of coconut cream and scatter with the extra mace. Serve immediately.
