This slimy vegetable is a popular boba drink

Which dishes/snacks have you had taro in? 🍠

We make curry with this vegetable in india but I don't find it much tasty.

We call it 'gathi kochu' in Bengali.

In Bangladesh, we boiled this taaro until it is fully cooked. Then fry some dried chili(7/8)
Mash those chilies, mixed it with thinly sliced onion(1/2 small onion & mustered oil(3table spoon).
Peel the taaro, mashed it and mixed them together. It tastes good.

قلقاس يعني

Funnily enough, I ate sinigang the other day. Such an odd coincidence that I’d find a video about it here.

Taro is very popular in Bangladesh. We use it for so many recipes.

Talas.

I usually deep fried the taro with a lil seasoning, its really good, u have to try it!

it's called cheppankilangu in tamil

Taro/Gabi

Oh we call that gabi from where we come from. We usually add that to soups like some mung bean soup or even some nilaga. It makes the broth thicker and makes you full quicker so I usually eat it last😂

hello there😄 from Nepal🇳🇵 we called taro as "pidalu" and it's so common here. we make this curry with beans. we have white and light pink taro. its simply tasty curry😋😋

i like the taro drinks there so delicious

Oh no. Taro is NOT ube in Filipino. Taro is gabi (the root part) and it has a super hydrophobic leaf which can be used as an alternative umbrella for fun uwu. Ube is like potato (patatas) or sweet potato (kamote) and crawls like a vine.

Taro in sinigang is masarap!

I’ve never tried taro but I love okra.

We call it ol in india

We call it "Gábi" in Filipino

Lol love the knife waggle 😂

Honestly thought it was basically ube too until I went to Hawaii and saw the physical thing

We call it "Arvi" in Pakistan, we put it in beef or mutton curry and it's yummy.
Also Make it on its own with some spices and it taste best with rotis (tortillas)

In hawaii I use purple taro typically for poi or just turn it into like a pudding

My poli family we just boil or bake taro then eat it with a meat of some sort so it’s so weird seeing you put it in soup or boba

This looks so good omg

Doesn't it have to be cooked and oxidized for it to be purple? Just asking cause that's what happened when my mama made it once. Soup looks good 😁
Edit: Ah nvm turns out there's one that has purple spots in it that's used for boba

From my understanding when it's processed is when it turns purple

Thats kamote?

we usually fry it!

We make tangie curry with it 🤤

In Bengali it's called …'kochu'

in hong kong, besides the popular dim sum dish, taro cake, we would boil baby taro in a pot of water with salt, then peel before eating. my dad would always make this during mid-autumn festival, very simple with a delicious salty and rooty flavour, j loved it so much as a kid. another favourite is taro sago with coconut milk! (芋頭西米露🤤) can be served either hot or cold, i always prefer it cold. it is definitely one of my top 3 favourite desserts.

p.s. taro bubble tea is more purple because taro powder is purple from the food colouring ^_^

Taro ≠ 🍠.
I typed Taro into the emoji thing and 🍠 is not a Taro emoji.

I know when it's in boba it dyed to exaggerated the purple hue because i went to a shop that had natural taro. It was more of a pale pink purple.

Ah parang gabi which is pangpalapot ng sabaw

In Punjab (India)we call this veg arbi ,it can be made as dry dish just shallow frying,sauteing it with some spices and also as gravy dish and the leaves are also used for cooking ( fritters with gram flour or even rice flour) preferably in monsoons …one tip, rub some oil on hands before cutting this veg…

I love taro!

My grandma puts it in "sinigang" and it tastes delicious

My mom's fav vegetable

I'm from Barbados. I think in the eastern Caribbean it's called Dasheen. Apparently through slavery and language barriers it came to us as 'De la Shin' (The thing from china) which became dasheen to the locals. Not sure how true that is but it's something I learned from a Caribbean history class

yes we make it in curry and spicy salad mix

We eat it with coconut shavings, chilli and oil, make it a paste and have with rice… In Bengal. We also call it kochu. It's so tasty.😋

We called it kochu in Assam we make different dish from it.

Ive ate this in a dish called "rendang" and savoury-spicy soups

It's so weird for me to hear "Filipino Tamarind Soup" cuz all my life it's just been sinigang, like I didnt know it can be called that or anything other than sinigang.

i just steamed it
