Palusami
Palusami is a traditional Kiribati dish consisting of taro leaves filled with a mixture of coconut cream, onions, and sometimes fish or corned beef. The parcels are then wrapped in larger leaves (like banana or breadfruit leaves) and baked or steamed until tender, resulting in a creamy and savory dish.
