  1. Hi there, I’ve tried lots of your recipes and they’ve turned out great. This one tasted good, but the tapioca wasn’t cooked. I followed the directions exactly, even cooking it a little extra. It’s one of my husband’s favorite desserts, so I’d really like to be able to make it for him. Any suggestions?

  2. Dear Manjula,

    I love your website and your recipies are nice and simple to follow. I tried coconut burfi and it was excellent. I will be trying many more of your dessert dishes!

  3. Hi,

    Thanks for the recipe. Mine did not turn out as yours, though tasted excellent. After I added sabudana, my milk curdled.

    What did I do wrong? I did put the soaked sago in hot milk. I kept stirring too.

    Also my sabudana is very powdery. As I washed a lot of powder came, which I drained and then I have to wash the soaked sabudana too, as there was a lot more white powder again. I ended up with very little puffy sabudana compared to the amount I soaked. Is there a difference in sago?

  4. This was so yummy, it’s hard to believe that sabudana can taste so…………….. good. Thank you very much for this awesome recipe.
