This is our family’s traditional festive cake, especially for birthdays and special celebrations. I like using fresh purple taro, which is more aromatic and has a powdery, potato-like starch. I’d love to see more Australians making this – it’s so easy, like a potato pancake.

Method

Cut 800 g taro into cubes and cook it with 80 g dried shrimps
