Coconut Sago Pudding with Plum and Apple Compote
by Alkajena
Sabudana is always used on Ekadasi and other days of fasting at home. We prepare a no cook meal with sabudana which is soaked in water overnight and then drained and mixed with banana, coconut, fruits of choice, jaggery, milk/ yogurt to make a wholesome meal. But this time I have made coconut sago pudding with plums and apple compote for a wholesome dessert. The sweetness from the sago pudding and the contrasting sweet and sour flavor from the fruit compote makes this a unique dish even to try during fasting.
