Health benefits of Palusami

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

Twenty-four 13.5-ounce cans coconut milk, such as Mae Ploy
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Juice of 3 lemons
1 onion, chopped
180 taro leaves

Instructions

Pour the coconut milk into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the salt, lemon juice and onions.
Take 6 taro leaves per palusami and stack them on top of each other, using the largest leaves on the bottom to prevent leaking. Put the taro pile into the open palm of your hand and form a cup with the leaves. Fill the "cup" with the coconut milk mixture, making sure not to overfill. Close the leaves around the liquid to form a ball, and then wrap the ball in tin foil. Repeat with the remaining taro leaves.
Place the palusami balls into a steamer for 3 hours. Remove, let cool and enjoy.
