Sago
Sabudana
4 g1 teaspoon
12 g1 tablespoon
Sago pearls about 12 g/tbsp; converted to tsp.
Instead of Sago
Short-grain riceUse the same weight. Soak for 30 minutes and cook 5–10 minutes longer; texture will be softer and less chewy.
Coarsely broken riceUse the same weight. Soak 20 minutes and cook until tender; it will not become as translucent as sago.
Coarse semolinaUse 70% of the weight for upma-style dishes. Toast first and add 1.2 times the water; texture is grainy, not pearl-like.
