ABOUT Coconut Sago Pudding with Plum & Apple Compote RECIPE

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.There are different ways in which this coconut sago pudding is prepared basing on the region in which it is prepared. South Asian Countries use coconut milk and palm sugar in this classic dessert.
