Poi is the staple food in Hawaii made out of pounded taro and water, then fermented. Poi is an ancient tradition in Hawaii and is typically made by using a carved basalt pestle (pōhaku ku‘i ‘ai) to pound the taro on a wooden pounding board (papa ku‘i ‘ai).
There's two types of poi:
1. fresh poi, aka "sweet poi", which hasn't been fermented, and
2. sour poi, which has been fermented for a few days.
In this video, we make fresh Hawaiian poi using only two ingredients: taro root and water.
You may use a blender, food processor, or stand mixer to make Hawaiian poi in your kitchen (I know, it's not traditional...but it does the job!).
Making Hawaiian poi in a blender or food processor is WAY faster, but I enjoyed simulating a "pounding" process using the KitchenAid stand mixer!
