Abuk-Abuk Sagu

I was thinking of what to do with the left-over grated coconut from Kuih Kosui and remembered that Lucy made this before. Searched her site but couldn't find it. So I rang up S's mum and asked her if she knows how to do this. She gave me a verbal recipe using agaration.

Anyhow, with the the recipe on hand, I headed to the wet market to get some banana leaves for wrapping this kuih. Unfortunately, there isn't any. Went straight home and was thinking of improvising till I saw these spiral moulds which I bought ages ago. I cannot remember what I bought it for and have never used it. Didn't think that I would steam kuih in this but I did and the shape is not bad at all.



This is the mould that I used.


Ingredients:
150g sago pearls
80g - 90g freshly grated coconut + salt to taste
1 tbsp water
80g gula melaka (chopped up)

Method:
1. Wash sago pearls, soak for 15 minutes then strain.
2. Add grated coconut, salt and water to the sago pearls, mix well.
3. Spoon 1.5 tablespoon of sago mixture into mould, add in 1 teaspoonful of gula melaka, top it up with 1 tablespoon of sago mixture.
4. Steam on high heat for 30 minutes or till cooked.
