🧂 Ingrediënten
- 2 medium Taro root(about 1.5 lbs, peeled and cubed)
- 4 medium Ripe cooking bananas (or plantains)(peeled and sliced)
- 1 can (400ml) Full-fat coconut milk
- 1/4 cup Granulated sugar(or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 Pandan leaves(tied into a knot (optional, for aroma))
- 1 cup Water(for boiling taro)
👨🍳 Instructies
- 1
Place the cubed taro root in a medium saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the taro is very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
💡 Pro Tips: Taro should be soft enough to mash easily. - 2
Drain the cooked taro, reserving a little of the cooking liquid if desired for a smoother consistency. Mash the taro thoroughly in a bowl until smooth. You can use a potato masher or a fork.
💡 Pro Tips: For an extra smooth texture, you can use a food processor or blend the mashed taro with a little reserved liquid. - 3
In the same saucepan (or a clean one), combine the mashed taro, sliced bananas, coconut milk, sugar, and salt. If using, add the knotted pandan leaves.

Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and the bananas soften further, about 10-15 minutes. Be careful not to scorch the bottom.
💡 Pro Tips: Stirring prevents sticking and ensures even cooking. - 5
Once the pudding has reached a thick, creamy consistency and the flavors have melded, remove the pandan leaves (if used).

Serve warm as a dessert or a side dish. It can also be chilled and served cold.
💡 Pro Tips: Can be garnished with toasted coconut flakes or a dash of nutmeg.
