I first had this dessert on an island in Thailand in 2003. It says to serve it hot, but I personally prefer it chilled as I think the taro has time to soak in the sugar. Ingredients:
50 g taro root |
300 ml water |
200 ml coconut milk |
100 ml water |
150 g sugar |
Directions:
1. Peel and chop the taro into small squares and rinse.
2. Boil in the 300ml water for 20 minutes.
3. In a separate saucepan, mix the sugar and 100 ml water, boil until the sugar has dissolved, then leave to cool to form a light syrup.
4. Warm the coconut milk in a saucepan, until its just warmed through and steaming.
5. Serve the taro in a bowl, with warmed coconut milk and some of the sugar syrup poured over it, or put it in the fridge until chilled.
