Orange Coconut Sago Pudding

Whilst in Brisbane last month my sister and I had a sago pudding and it was just divine, so of course I had to recreate it. 

Sago is a starch taken from the centre of the sago palm stems and is a common ingredient used in Indian dishes. According to “The New Oxford Book of Food Plants,” sago is also known as sabudana has a long history in traditional Indian medicine. It is used in combination with rice to cool the body. The nutritional content of sago is quite low given it is a carbohydrate. So this pudding is great because we are able to mix it with ingredients that offer essential vitamins and nutrients.
