Tago Sago (Sago Topped with Coconut Pudding)

I got this recipe from a cookbook a friend gave me. It's a simple desserts, but takes time to prepare esp. the sago (it takes like 15 minutes for the sago to be cooked). But the result?? Really worth it!

Ingredients:
1/2 Cup of Pandan Sago (Can find in most supermarket (in Thailand))

1/4 Cup of Tapioca Starch

1/2 Cup of Rice Flour

3 Cups of Water
2 1/2 Cup of Sugar
2 Cups of Coconut Milk (I use instant coconut milk)

1 Teaspoon of Salt
Directions
Sago:
Mix the sago, water and tapioca flour together (avoid clumps). And Heat the mixture until the sago is cooked. Normally, it'll take about 15 minutes for the sago to cook. Keep stirring if you don't want the sago to the sauce pan. Add 1 1/2 cup of sugar when the sago is cooked.

....... 15 minutes later

Tip: Use a new saucepan or pot or the one without burn marks on the buttom. Burn marks can make the sago burn easily.
Coconut Cream:
Mix coconut milk, rice flour, salt and the remaining sugar. Blend the ingredients together and heat the mixture until the coconut milk thicken into cream.
