Procedure:

Wash and soak the sago granules in water.

Peel, deseed and finely chop the gourd. Add some water and cook it till they become soft.

After the gourd is cooked, add the soaked sago and let it cook.

Mean while grind coconut and extract the milk (use water as required to grind the coconut.) Keep the first extract separately.

Add more water and extract the milk for another two times.

add the coconut milk (second and third extract) to the guard and bring it to a boil. ( If you are using rice flour mix it along with some of the second extract of coconut milk and add it to the gourd stir continuously and let it boil and thickens. )

After it boils, add the first extract of coconut milk.

Bring this to a boil, add salt and some cardamom/ nutmeg powder for flavouring.
