Pengat Keladi & Sagu Besar

Just a simple dessert for my breaking-off fast that I made two days ago. Steamed yam & big sago cooked in sweetened coconut broth.... my favourite!

Some tips on how to cooked the big sago:
- Dip dry sago in water for a minute
- Throw into boiling water. Make sure water is 4-5 times of the amount of sago.
- Let it cook until translucent, stir frequently until only tiny white spec of uncooked portion in the middle of sago pearls. .
- Off fire & cover pot for 15 minutes until all fully translucent.
- Rinse under tap water to get rid of excess starch.
- Ready to use.

To cook the sweet broth:
- Add coconut milk, steamed yam, cooked big sago, white/brown sugar, pandan leaf, a pinch of salt in a pot.
- Stir until boiled. Serve warm.

BAHASA MALAYSIA VERSION

Alhamdulillah, selamat berbuka puasa dan menikmati Pengat Keladi dgn Sagu Besar.... suka sangat! Keladi memang kesukaan Along - buat apa pun Along rasa sedap sangat. Along lebih suka pengat campur sagu besar ni di bandingkan sagu yg halus sebab rasa nya yg kenyal2. Kalau puasa memang suka pemanis mulut, lega rasa nya tekak yg pahit..... hehe.

Untuk merebus sagu besar ni kena bersabar sebab mengambil masa yg lama. Along rendam dulu seminit baru di masukkan ke dalam air mendidih supaya lebih cepat masak. Air merebus nya pula mesti 4-5 kali ganda sagu supaya sagu dapat berkembang. Apabila dah hampir jernih, padam api & tutup periuk & biarkan selama 15 minit sehingga jernih sepenuh nya. Bilas dalam tapis dgn air paip untuk menghilangkan kanji berlebihan.

Nak masak pengat nya pula biasa je lah... santan + keladi/sagu yg telah di rebus + gula putih/merah + garam + daun pandan. Masak sehingga mendidih.... siap pun!
