How To Make

• Put one and a half cups of milk in a pan.
• Add 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of milk powder.
• Keep mixing it on a medium flame to prevent the formation of lumps. Continuous mixing will also prevent the burning of ingredients and increase the rate of dissolving sugar.
• Once the mixture is simmer boiling, turn off the heat, and let it cool. However, keep stirring the mixture.
• Once cool, transfer it to a deep bowl or keep the same pan in the refrigerator.
• Take another pan and put at least three cups of water into it.
• Once you see the bubbles start to form, add 1/4 cup of sago pearls.
• Cook sago for at least 10 minutes or until the pearls become transparent. Stir them occasionally in between.
• Strain the pearls and run them under cold water to remove excess starch and stop further cooking.
• While sago cools off, soak basil seeds in water for about 8-10 minutes.
• To the milk mixture, add sago and soaked basil seeds.
• Add a teaspoon of vanilla essence and mix everything well.
• You can add sliced dry fruits like pistachios, cashews and almonds. Add diced fruits like grapes, apples, mangoes, strawberries and bananas.
• Mix everything and serve it cool in a wide glass or dessert bowl.
