Ingredients

5 cups palaʻai (peeled, cored, defrosted, and steamed)
2 cups water
2 cups coconut cream
1 lime, juiced
1 Tbsp canola
½ a yellow onion, chopped
1 Tbsp ginger minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp coriander ground

Garnish (optional)

10 sprigs cilantro chopped
4 leaves basil chopped
1 scallion, sliced thin

Directions

In a large pot cook the onion in oil with a pinch of salt and pepper over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, until soft.
Add the garlic, ginger and coriander, cook one more minute.
Add the squash and 2 cups water and bring to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer, add coconut cream and cook on medium-low 10 minutes.
