Notes
Pl don't use coconut oil for this item as it will not taste well
while soaking sago in water, please ensure that it is soaked only for about 15 mins, drained well. Soaking for too long will make the sago sticky
You can also grind some peanuts into coarse powder and mix it along with the sago, in case of more peanuty flavour
