 How to Make Classic Mango Sago at Home (With Step-by-Step)



You are aware of how delightful and refreshing mango sago is if you have ever tried it at a restaurant or dessert parlor. It's a tropical paradise in a bowl, with its creamy texture, soft sago pearls, and chunks of sweet mango! The good news? Enjoying it doesn't have to wait until your next excursion. I'll show you how to make traditional mango sago at home today. This recipe is easy to make, inexpensive, and ideal for hot summer days. It also looks elegant enough to serve at a gathering!

What is Mango Sago?

Ripe mangoes, sago pearls (known as sabudana in India), coconut milk or ordinary milk, and a little sweetness are the ingredients of mango sago, a chilled dessert. Originating in Hong Kong, it has gained popularity throughout Asia. These days, its vivid colors and tropical vibe are also causing a stir on Instagram and food blogs.

Ingredients You’ll Need

All these ingredients are easily available at your local supermarket or online:

  • ½ cup sago (sabudana)
  • 2 large ripe mangoes (Alphonso or any sweet variety)
  • 1 cup milk (or coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust as per your taste)
  • ¼ cup condensed milk (optional, but adds richness)
  • 1 cup water
  • Ice cubes (for chilling)
  • Mint leaves or mango cubes (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Recipe



Tip: Before starting, keep everything ready and use a heavy-bottomed pan for boiling sago. It prevents sticking.

Step 1: Cook the Sago

  • Rinse sago under running water.
  • In a pot, boil 3–4 cups of water.
  • Add the sago and cook for 10–15 minutes until they turn translucent.
  • Stir occasionally to avoid clumping.
  • Once cooked, drain and rinse with cold water to remove excess starch. Keep aside.

Don’t overcook or they’ll turn mushy.

Step 2: Prepare the Mango Puree

  • Peel and chop one and a half mangoes.
  • Blend the chopped pieces with sugar and condensed milk into a smooth puree.
  • If your mangoes are very sweet, you can skip the sugar.
Keep the remaining half mango for garnish later.

Step 3: Mix It All Together

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the mango puree, milk, and cooked sago.
  • Stir gently. You’ll see the mixture come to life—thick, creamy, and golden!
  • Chill in the fridge for at least 1–2 hours.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

  • Pour the chilled mango sago into serving bowls or glasses.
  • Add diced mango cubes on top.
  • Garnish with a mint leaf or a swirl of coconut milk if you like.

Why You’ll Love Making This at Home

  • Super easy and beginner-friendly.
  • No baking or fancy equipment needed.
  • Customisable to suit your taste and diet.
  • Looks great and tastes even better!
