How to make Sago Roti Recipe

 Sago Roti Recipe

🌴 What Is Sago ?

 

My mom fed me sago from a young age but I don’t know how it is made. But now i know about it. So I would like to share with you what I learned.  

I learned that there are two types of pearls, sago and tapioca. One is called a tapioca pearl. The other is called sago seeds.    

Sago is a type of starch extracted from the core of certain tropical palm stems. Sago is mainly extracted from Metroxylon sagu , or sago palm, which is native to many parts of the world, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea. The sago palm grows quickly and tolerates a wide variety of soils. A single sago palm can contain 220–1,760 pounds (100–800 kg) of starch .

Sago is a dietary staple in areas of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. They call it  sago, saksak, rabia and sagu. Sri Lankans call it Sago seeds (Sawu ata) .It’s not very nutritious but rich in carbs, an important source of energy for your body.

Naturally gluten-free, sago is a good substitute for wheat-based flour and grains in baking and cooking for those on restricted diets.

Also known as tapioca pearl sago, sago, sabudana made from manioc roots in many countries, including Australia, Brazil and India.

Of these, Sri Lankans use the sago seeds made from the palm plant. I never use tapioca pearls.

What are the benefits of sago seeds?

The health benefits of sago include its ability to help in weight gain, control blood pressure, and improve the blood circulation. Let’s discuss the most common benefits in detail.

Lowers blood pressure

High blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels are risk factors for heart disease.

There is a small amount of potassium found in sago, which can help address blood pressure concerns. Potassium functions as a vasodilator, which means it can relax tension in the blood vessels and open them up. This, in turn, can reduce blood pressure and lower the overall strain on the cardiovascular system.

  Ingredients

• 3/4 Cup Sago seeds

  Add water to the sago and soak the sago until they can be crushed by hand. Remove the pulp from the soaked sago and add everything except rice flour to it. Then add the rice flour little by little and make the roti mixture.

This mixture is a little sticky on the hands, so apply the oil on both hands.

Spread thinly on a greased banana leaf or lunch sheet and make a regular roti.
