Poi

Prepare the Taro

Peel the taro root and cut it into chunks.

Place the taro chunks in a pot and cover with water.

Cook the Taro

Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the taro is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

Mash the Taro

Drain the taro chunks and transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Use a potato masher or fork to mash the taro until smooth.

Adjust Consistency

Gradually add coconut milk to the mashed taro, stirring to reach your desired consistency. You can adjust the amount of coconut milk depending on how thick or thin you want your poi.

Season with a pinch of salt to taste.

Serve

Allow the poi to cool to room temperature before serving.
