Method:

1. Dissolve salt in coconut milk and chill.

2. Combine sago and water. Boil till sago becomes clear.

3. Remove from flame and drain through a sieve. Rinse under a running tap to remove excess starch.

4. After 1 minute, drain sago well. Pack into rinsed individual moulds and refrigerate to set.
