Ongol-ongol Pandan

Hello everyone,
There is a custom that is quite unique for Indonesian people, especially people who live in Eastern Indonesia. The custom is to make sago a staple food, this is because sago is the main agricultural product, apart from rice. Unlike us who live in western areas, where most of them make rice as the main food commodity.

Sago is usually already in the form of flour, for that it is always used in the form of snacks or traditional cakes. Sago is not enough in the western region so it is not used as the main food commodity, rice is the main thing like most other regions in Asia.

Sago is made from sago trees which grow a lot in the east, I have never even seen sago trees in the area where I live, maybe sago trees are not suitable for growing in the west. Like quinoa, chick peas, wheat which are also not produced from Indonesian agriculture, those are the differences that we can compare.

Sago flour is almost similar to tapioca flour, the texture and results are very similar, but the taste and characteristics can be distinguished if we put soy sauce on the tongue. Usually tapioca is usually used as food such as cireng, cimol and meatballs, for sago flour it is usually more suitable as a dessert like ongol-ongol, sago porridge and papeda.

When talking about sago flour, I have an interesting recipe to peel thoroughly. For those of you who have sago flour at home, you can try the following recipe for ideas for selling or snacking with your family. This is a pandan ongol-ongol recipe that has a sweet, aromatic and delicious taste. So, curious about the recipe? Check this out!
