Ingredients

6 cups Fresh Mangoes - remove skin and stone, or approximate 6 of thawed frozen mangoes
150 grams Sago or tapioca
1/2 Pomelo - remove rind, membrane and seeds
1 can Coconut Milk (can be substituted with low-fat version)

Preparation

Bring rock sugar and water to a boil

Add coconut milk to the sago mixture and remove it from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature
4
Puree half of the mangoes, and cut the remaining into bite size pieces
5
Shred the flesh of pomelo by hand into the width of a chopstick
6
Add mango puree, mango chunks, and pomelo pieces into the sago coconut milk mixture
