=== Preparing the Palusami ===
# Get taro leaves. (You will need ~ 4 leaves for one luau.)
# Use 1 big leaf and 3 or 4 smaller leaves. (You can break a bigger leaf to make a smaller leaf.) 
# Lay the 4 pieces flat with the big one on the bottom and the 3 smaller ones on top.
# Place leaves in hand and close hand slightly to make leaves in a bowl-like shape, into which you pour the cream.
# Pour approx. a small cup of coconut cream inside the leaf structure and close outside edges of the leaves to enclose the cream, making the leaves into a ball-like structure.
# Wrap total package in aluminum foil, twisting the top to conceal and hold the package tight.
# Put in oven and cook for about an hour at ~ 250°C (quite high).
