Sago and Coconut Pudding with Plum and Vanilla Compote



Sago pudding is a favorite in my house and since it is a breeze to whip up this pudding, it's one of the dessert of choice to make when I have sudden guests at home. Kitchen Aid India has announced a contest at IFBM, a first of it's kind, bloggers meet in India and they are giving away a kitchen Aid Chopper to the winner. One of the condition to participate in the contest is to cook with plums. Keeping the theme in mind, I came up with this combination of our favorite dessert topped with a sweet and tangy Plum and Vanilla compote and it came out a real winner. Here is the simple recipe to make this delicious dessert.

Plums - 8-10 ( de seeded and chopped )
Castor sugar - 1\4 cup
Vanilla bean - 1 ( you can use vanilla extract if vanilla bean is not available )

Wash and soak sago pearls in enough water for 4-5 hours.
Drain the water.
Boil full cream milk in a pan.
Add soaked sago pearls and coconut powder and simmer the heat to low.

Cook the pudding till it thickens. ( approx 30 minutes )

Remove from heat and cool.

Put the lid on and let it simm...
