1
Prepare the Taro
Peel the taro root and cut it into small cubes (about 1 inch). Rinse the cubes under cold water to remove any excess starch.

2
Cook the Taro
In a large pot, add the cubed taro, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the taro to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the taro is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
3
Add Coconut Milk
Once the taro is cooked, slowly stir in the coconut milk and sugar. If using, add the pandan leaves for additional flavor. Stir well to combine and let it simmer on low heat for another 5-10 minutes.
4
Final Seasoning
Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if desired. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors. Remove the pandan leaves if used.

5
Serve the Dish
Ladle the taro in coconut milk into serving bowls. It can be served warm or chilled, as per your preference.
