Pengat pisang is a traditional Malay dessert. For the peranakans in Malacca and Singapore, pengat pisang is almost always cooked with palm sugar while in some communities in northern Malaysia, white sugar is mostly favoured, and sago is often added for textural contrast.

This recipe shows how to prepare pengat pisang with sago and white sugar.

Note:

White sugar could be substituted with the same amount of palm sugar or you could combine whatever proportion of white sugar and palm sugar to your liking.

Step 1 of 4

    • 2 tbsp sago
    • 2 cup water
  1. In a small bowl, rinse sago under running water to remove starch in order to have a firmer consistency gravy and drain water from sago.
