Buatoro
Buatoro is a traditional Kiribati dessert, often described as a moist, rich cake or pudding. It's primarily made from grated swamp taro (babai) or regular taro, mixed with coconut milk and coconut palm syrup. The mixture is then wrapped in leaves (traditionally banana or taro leaves) and steamed or baked until cooked through.
🧂 Zutaten

- 0.75 cup Full-fat coconut milk(plus 2 tablespoons for batter consistency)
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- as needed Banana leaves or taro leaves(for wrapping)
