    My tapioca absorbed the water fully in about 20 min. Should I add more?

    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?

    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?

    Greetings~ I found your site while looking for how to make tapioca pudding after yesterday when I tried to make tapioca following recipe on back of package of tapioca which failed miserably (it turned into giant blob of goo).
    So, today I will try yours and also your site is so helpful and easy to use, so thank you for posting like this, I will definately try some of your other recipes. The video is very helpful for a young person like me with no reference for how it should look in reality! ; ) Regards~
