How to make KULOLO in the INSTANT POT using only 3 ingredients | Keeping It Relle

- Kūlolo or taro pudding is a classic Hawaiian dessert. Warm, chewy, rich, dark brown pieces of kulolo made easily in the comfort of your home using an Instant Pot. My favorite!
Kūlolo is a popular Hawaiian dessert here in the islands made of ground/grated kalo (see below for tips on grating) or taro, raw sugar, and coconut milk. Traditional kulolo is made in an imu or underground oven and steamed or baked for hours.
Today, kūlolo is often baked in the oven or steamed in a steamer. This process is very time consuming, however I have got a way to make kulolo in the Instant Pot and will cut your traditional cook time down.
***Of note not all varieties of kalo will work to make kulolo. Chinese variety of kalo (like Bun-Long) work well to make taro chips, but do not work well to make kulolo. Common varieties to use are mana and lauloa.
The University of Hawai'i at Manoa has great resource on kalo varieties. You can check it out at www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/Site/Tar...
***Also the calcium oxalate in kalo can cause skin. If you have sensitive skin I would recommend using gloves when grating and handling the kalo.
Tips for grating kalo: Rinse kalo root. Using a peeler peel off the outer layer of the root (similar to the way you would peel a potato). You can then grate the kalo using a hand held grater (like the ones used to grate cheese) or an easier option would be to use a food processor or stand mixer with a grater attachment.
The Instant Pot is an electronic pressure cooker and has become a very popular kitchen counter top appliance. This is the Instant Pot I have amzn.to/3bSzuCX.

Instant Pot Kūlolo Recipe
Ingredients:
2 cups taro, grated
3/4 cups raw sugar amzn.to/37H9Xtc
1/2 cup coconut milk amzn.to/2Mts3GM
Directions:
Set Instant Pot to saute mode.
Line an 8 inch by 2 inch deep cake pan with foil. I have a 6 quart Instant Pot and this will fit perfectly. Be sure to find a pan that will fit your Instant Pot. Set aside.
In a large bowl add kalo, sugar, and coconut milk. Stir until well combined.
Pour mixture in to prepared pan. Cover tightly with foil.
Add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. Place trivet in the Instant Pot followed by the cake pan. If you do not have a trivet you can roll a piece of foil to elevate the cake pan.
Place the lid on and set to sealing. Press cancel to end saute mode. Cook on manual high pressure for 150 minutes. Allow natural pressure release until safety pin has dropped and the lid is unlocked.
Allow to cool overnight. Slice in to pieces and serve. Enjoy!

Yay. Happy to hear.
Aloha from Maui, you got a good thing going with this channel! It’s good to see a Hawaiian/ Local version of “Tasty” . Keep up the good work!

Hi there 👋🙂
Watching you from upstate New York
Hawaiian neighbor just treated me to kulolo, amd it was a love from the first bite. Gonna try to make it. I am a Russian woman married to Puerto-Rican, and they eat taro as savory food in stews. I did not know such delicious desert can be made out of it!
It's one of my faves
@@KeepingItRelle 😋👍
So I got taro. Will be using you instant pot recepy to make kulolo. I have a quick question. Will taro root keep in the crisper of the fridge? For how long? Sorry for such rudimentary ignorance. I come from Central Asia, never even knew taro existed until I came to America and married a man of Puerto-Rican descent (they call it Malanga). Thank you for answering
@@LenkaSaratoga You can leave it at room temp or store in the fridge to extend its shelf life.
@@KeepingItRelle thank you for answering
😊@@LenkaSaratoga
Looks so easy to make! I'm gonna try it! Thanks for sharing!
Hope you enjoy

Glad you liked it!!
I made kulolo with ulu and it was really good too!
Oh yum. Sounds awesome!
Teri that sounds delicious! Love ulu!! Did you grate it first uncooked? Was the ulu firm or soft when yu made it? Did you use the same recipe as the kalo for the kololo? If not, may I please get your recipe ? I would greatly appreciate it! So sorry for all of the questions lol . Mahalo ❤
Oh yes we need the recipe please 🙏🏾
I just made this. Gonna let it sit over night n kill it tomorrow morn for breakfast ☺️🤣. I couldn’t resist so I spooned a lil bit. It’s soo yummy!! I know I’m gonna be in for a sweet treat tomorrow morning!! Can’t wait!! Thanks again for another amazing recipe!!
Yaasss! Perfect breakfast of champions. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for taking the time sharing your Instapot method. This recipe reminds me of home. My father used to make ono kulolo with raw honey and it would get the crisped edge that everyone loved in my 'ohana. I wish I had asked about how he got that finish, I recall him telling me it's very easy. I will figure it out when I try some ideas I have in mind.
I live in Texas and we will be moving back to the big island to enjoy our native home by December 2021. My fiance is Philippina and they do something very similar with Cassava. I have recently tried it with Cassava but ground the cassava to a flour consistency. It was good but I want it to be more coarse. I am actually about to do it this time going the grating by hand. I think this will turn out... I do a light modification with your simple recipe and sub sum of the brown sugar with honey. We shall see. ;) Mahalo Nui Loa!
Hope you enjoy!
Awesome video right up until 4:14 when I saw dat Steelers pot holder 🤢. 🤣🤣🤙🏽Aloha
Aw man. Haha. Hubby's a die hard.
Thanks for sharing this! My FIL has a taro patch and we get buckets of taro when he goes to harvest them. I always make poi or poi mochi, but never knew how to make kulolo. But now I do thanks to you. Mahalo sis!
That’s so awesome. Do you guys sell the kalo? I totally would love to buy some from you guys if you do. Love supporting local and I get to make yummy goodies. Let me know. Thanks!
Keeping It Relle Yes, we totally do. I’ll let you know.
@@RoseAustinCooks Perfect!!
Can I purchase kalo?
You sure can.
Pololei keia! Growing up in da' early 60's, my dad used to make imu-kulolo for luau's and I can tell you, "it's hard work" But, watching your video presentation, and since I do have small-kine Lo'i, and one Instant Pot, I'm goin' try it exactly the way you made it in the video. Let you know how it comes out! Mahalo Nui!
Thanks for watching. Let me know how it goes. Have a great day.
Thank you
You're welcome!
Mahalo!
You're welcome!
Aloha! Mahalo nui for posting this recipe! I was wondering where can I purchase the proper kalo to make this recipe?
Hi. Many local stores and farmers markets carry this. You can also reach out to the poi factories. If you’re on Maui Aloha Poi sells Lehua variety of kalo which also works.
Wow! How much of each ingredient? So used to making kulolo in large amounts. This is awesome! Gonna make some tomorrow! Mahalo Nui for sharing!!!
Aloha. Recipe is linked and written in the description box below.
Mahaaaaaloooo, gonna get me an Instant pot and make my own Kulolo....blessings.
Hi Marilyn. Yay. Sounds great. Let me know how it goes.
Mahalo Nui Loa
Thanks for watching!
Wow i love kulolo, i just came from the big island and was trying to find it everywhere but just one restaurant had it. I need to make this! Im just wondering how to grate it without hurting your fingers
Same way you'd grate a potato or any other firm veggie. You can use a guard to protect your fingers if you are worried.
been following you on instagram, did not realize you got a youtube channel! subscribed! we live in texas, kinda worried about finding the right kind of taro. i doubt i can ask the employee. lol
Haha. I'm not sure the ones on the mainland will be the correct variety. But you can always give it a go and see how it goes. Best of luck.
ill do it. we have gabi tubers in the philippines
Not sure if those will work. If it does, let me know.
Looks so ono, I going try um’ 1 day, but how did you grind the Kalo?
I used a grater and grated the kalo raw. Hope you enjoy!
Aloha Relle so I just got a 8qt instant pot and I can't wait to use it but can I put 2 round cake pan and would it be the same time to cook it or double the time not sure.
Nice. No change in cook time. Hope you enjoy!
How do you prep the kalo? Is it just raw and then through a grater? Can I use a food processor?
This is raw kalo. Grate with the smallest holes.
Howzit 🤙I love Kulolo! Question? Can you make it with just bag poi? Is it possible?
I've never tried. Might be worth experimenting with. Let me know if you do.
Aloha and thank you for sharing your video on Kulolo in the instant pot, was wondering if the Kalo is just grated or is it mixed with something for its consistency, the bowl of Kalo you used looks more like a paste....... ALOHA AND MAHALO
Nope. Just grated with the smallest hole on my grater.
This looks so ono. Now the hard part is finding kalo.
Some grocery stores carry it. Farmers market. Or the poi factories.
Here on the mainland the only taro I’ve found are those little tiny ones that are found in Asian markets or supermarkets, can you use this kind?
The Chinese variety? With the specks that they use to make taro chips? Those aren't the best for this.
Thank you for sharing this recipe! Is Samoan taro good for making kulolo?
Someone had mentioned it was. I haven't tried it. If you do let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching.
Aloha Relle! So I tried the Samoan taro and the taste was good but I thinkI need to grate it with a finer setting and use a chopper as well! The consistency was a little too chunky and some pieces weren’t cooked all the way through so it made my throat a little itchy when I ate it! Not bad for my first time, excited to give it another try! Mahalo again sis🤙🏽
@@meeshh808 Thanks for the update.
Mahalo for this video!! I can’t wait to try it. What are the measurements for each of the ingredients?
Hi Angela. The ingredients and recipe description are listed in the description box. 2 cups grated kalo, 3/4 cup raw sugar, and 1/2 cup coconut milk. Thank you.
🤦🏻♀️whoops! I saw it now! Mahalo!!
Aloha! So I made the kulolo using white sugar but the same amount and the same time. It came out a little mushier and not as firm as I would have liked it. Do u think I should keep it in for longer? And does it make a difference using raw or gran sugar? 😬😬
The sugar can make a difference. The type of kalo definitely makes a difference. Did you let it set until cool? If you try to cut it when it’s hot it’ll be too soft.
Hey ya I let it cool completely with the foil still on. I will def try using the raw sugar next time. Thanks again!
So the taro sold in stores would work correct? Gonna try this tonight I made your instant pot stew luau and waiting to taste 😋🤙🏾
Depends. The Chinese variety (the one with the purple specks used to make taro chips) are often sold in stores and that one doesn't work so well.
This looks super good! Can I ask, what kind of taro you used?
Mana or lauloa varieties usually. Recently I have been using lehua variety as it is easier for me to find. They all taste great.
Keeping It Relle thanks! Loved this video! If you don’t mind me asking, where do you get your taro from? I’ve been looking all over
Followed the recipe to the dot, but the kalo never cook all the way? What should I do for the next batch? Thank you I’m advance for the help🤙🏾🤙🏾
The variety of kalo matters. How small you can grate the kalo helps decrease cook time. Large chunks will take longer to cook. If not cooked all the way through you can put the kulolo back in and cook for a longer period of time. Hope this helps.
U Rock!
Hi Kamana. Thank you for your kind words. Have a great day!
I want to try this recipe, but I have already cooked kalo. Should I make it just the same or do you recommend adjusting the cooking time?
I have not tried it with cooked kalo. Not sure if it will work. It definitely doesn't need the same amount of time if you are going to try it. The length of time with raw kalo is long so you can break down the calcium oxalate that causes the itch.
This might be a silly question so when you measure the ground up taro is that dry cup or wet cup measurement. :)
Dry cup is fine. I haven't weighed out the ingredients to give an accurate liquid or weight measurement. Thanks for asking.
@@KeepingItRelle Mahalo!
Which taro do you use? And thank you for sharing i miss having all of my island food 😢
I like to use mana or lauloa variety.
Aloha! I was wondering where I can buy this kind of taro to make the Kulolo. I checked out the resource page you listed but I don’t see any information on how to purchase the kalo. Mahalo for your help
Farmer's markets, grocery stores. Not sure where if you're in the mainland.
@@KeepingItRelle oh yea that would help haha. From Kauai but I’m in California now. Do you know of anyone that can ship kalo? Mahalo :)
I will be making this BUT haupia is STILL my favorite
Thanks for watching.
@@KeepingItRelle You're Welcome
What did you do to prepare the mall before mixing everything together?
Hi. Sorry I know I should have included that in the video. You will need to peel outer skin off the taro (similar to peeling the skin off a potato). Then you can either grate the taro with a hand held grater like grating cheese or use a food processor with a grater attachment on it or even a stand mixer with the grater attachment. Then it'll be in the form that is shown in the video. Thanks for the question.
I like learn how but I don't have the tools to prepare it
Nice! Gonna try this out right now! So steam in the instant pot for 2.5 hours?
Yes.
Keeping It Relle shoots! So I made it and it came out kinda goopy haha. Do you happen to know a good place to buy kalo on Oahu? I bought mines from foodland but don’t think it was the right kind. Mahalos!
Relle, can taro powder be used for kalo? ❤ Mahalo nui from Roswell, New Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤ Taro root (4-lbs) and taro powder is what I found on Amazon ❤
Aloha. I've never tried. So many people ask if you can use poi which I also haven't tried. My guess is probably not. But if you try it let me know.
do you grate the kalo raw, or do you steam them. im grating them but their slimy n white. Am I using the wrong Kalo?
Hi. You grate the kalo raw. What variety of kalo are you using? It is common for it to be slimy then grating. You can rinse under cold water. You can also use a grater attachment on a stand mixer or food processor if you have one.
@@KeepingItRelle Thank you for the quick response. The kalo im using is above water type not sure what its called, but notice it is white,theres no pink in it like the one you used.
@@debzdenis6159 Let me know how it goes.
I was given already steamed kalo from aloha poi am I still able to make some kind of kulolo ?
I haven't tried it. If you do, let me know how it goes.
Just bought Fiji taro cuz I have no idea where to get kalo here on Oahu. I guess going straight to the farms would be best but too lazy to drive out and idk which farm would sell right there.
None of my 8in pans would fit so I’m going to grab the instant pot pan they have at bed bath and beyond. Will report on how it comes out
StetS O tamuras sells kalo 😊
Never tried with the Fiji taro. I live in Maui. I get it from farmers markets, nurserys, or the kalo farms. What size IP do you have? Yes please let me know how it goes.
Fiji taro came out bomb!!!! Just like the stores. The only thing is that the color is brown. Doesn’t come out purple. I’m guessing they throw in food coloring. The store kine also puts preservatives in it. Grating it is also a pain in the butt. I used a 6 qt IP I couldn’t fit the 8in round pans so I bought the IP 7in pan and it worked good.
StetS O Nice! Thanks for the update!
Regarding the kalo.. is that grated raw?
Yes
Hi Relle,
How small should I grate the taro?
The smallest grater hole size you have. The smaller the easier it will cook down and the less grainy it will be.
@@KeepingItRelle hi relle,
Thank you. I made one batch grating the kalo using bigger hole. Goood thing I got extra kalo.
Did you say that was grated kalo? Cooked or raw?
Raw kalo that has been grated using the smallest holes on the grater.
Any substitute for taro; since its not available where I'm at? I hope you can help?
Taro is the main ingredient. Unfortunately anything else would not be kulololo.
@@KeepingItRelle Lol...you are oh so right! Mahalo for your time! Keep up the AWESOME work!!
Do you happen to know if the time needs to be adjusted for kalo that’s already been steamed? Mahalo in advance!
I haven’t done it this way, bud Id assume if the kalo is already cooked before going into the Instant Pot the cook time wouldn’t be nearly as long. And to be quite honest I’m not sure if it will work. If you try it please let me know.
@@KeepingItRelle Mahalo for the response. I tried it and steamed the kulolo for the same amount of time just to be safe and it turned out great.
@@HokuW44 I steamed my kalo yesterday and was looking for recipes when I saw this. I am going to make this today. Aloha.
Just curious I got raw sugar does it have to be brown ?? And for the taro I tried hawaii chinese taro cause I could not find anywhere here on Oahu, could I use a electric chopper for the taro or does it have to be graded??
So I checked it this morning let it sit overnight not what I expected I am gonna try and use the electric chopper today 🤣🤣🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Hi Ross. Doesn’t matter the color of the raw sugar. Chinese taro doesn’t work well to make kūlolo you can give it a shot if you’d like. Best to grate the taro so that it can cook down with the rest of the ingredients. I guess you could also try the chopper and see how it goes. Let me know how it works.
Ok thank you I wonder if the Samoan taro would work, that’s the only two types the store had hmmmmmm I’ll try and definitely let you know
I’ve never tried the Samoan kalo. Let me know how it goes.
@@rosskaeo-dolfo5279 Samoan Taro works.
Is the kalo already steamed?
No. It's raw grated kalo.
Any idea where someone who doesn’t live in Hawai’i can find kalo?
Maybe Asian grocery stores
I have a question, when you remove your kulolo from the instant pot & you let it cool. Do you leave it out on your counter top overnight or do you stick it in the icebox?
Just wondering mine taste good but it’s still a little runny & it’s sticky. What am I doing wrong.
I leave the foil on and allow to cool on the counter. What variety of kalo did you use? If it’s runny it sounds like there may have been too much liquid added or the water from the Instant Pot got into your kūlolo.
Good morning the store sign said Lehua. I really don’t know. But I did come across you taro chips video and you described the inside of that taro. And I remembered the taro I used had purple dots on the inside. So I’m thinking I used the wrong type of taro. I’m going taro hunting today. We love the taste but it’s just sticky & not firm like yours came out. Thank you for all your video post.
I’ve used Lehua and it worked fine. I think there was too much liquid.
Ok
Thank you I’ll try it again. My husband really loves the taste.
Sorry
One more question what size do you grated the Kalo?
Small , medium or large
Can i make this with a stove top pressure cooker
I would assume so.
I made it was so ono,mahalo
Its more ono den da kaui kulolo
Ooh yay. Thanks for sharing.
☺️☺️☺️
can you use poi
Hi Valerie. So many people have been asking that. I personally have never made it using poi. I would assume the texture and cook time would be different. I would like to try this with poi and see what happens. I'll keep you posted. Have a great day!
Saute or pressure cooking mode?
And is it 150 minutes or 1 hour 50 minutes
Manual high pressure. 150 minutes. All the recipe ingredients and directions are listed in the description box if you ever need it.
Keeping It Relle mahalo i neva see that the first time i read um. I made um last night came out winna. Cheee
Yay. Awesome. Glad it worked out.
What if my instant pot doesn’t have Manuel ?
What model do you have?
🌺🌸🌺🌸🌺
My fav!
Whats the recipe amounts, if you mind sharing
All recipe instructions and ingredients are listed in the description box if you ever need it.
We bought Kulolo, but when we ate it it made our throat itchy. I don't want to waste and throw it away. How long can we put it in the instant pot to get rid of the itchiness?
Try tossing it in a pan with butter and frying it. Adds a little crunch to the outside and cooks it a little longer. Soo good.
@@KeepingItRelle Thank you... will try that 👍
How much kalo...sugar, coconut milk please? Mahalo nui
Full recipe instructions and ingredients are in the description box below. Mahalo.
I made this recipe with homegrown kalo. It was delicious! I still had a little of the scratch in the back of my throat but my wife and in-laws said they didn’t notice. Maybe I’m just sensitive. I’m doing another batch and added an extra 30 minutes to the cooking time to see if that helps. Thank you for the awesome recipe!!!
Be sure to grate the kalo as thin as possible and you can cook it for longer if you have the itch.
