Notes
***Prepare banana leaves Cut the banana leaves into approx A4 size paper or slightly wider to make it easy for you. Steam the banana leaves until it turns soft. You can do that by placing the leaf over a steaming pot of water or directly over the flame. Use a silicon glove not to burn yourself. This is to prevent the leaves from tearing while you fold them. ***Procedure wrap the fresh ground tapioca On a banana leave rectangle place 2 or 3 tablespoons of tapioca paste. First, fold one of the long sides of the leaf over the tapioca, then the next side over the first side. The leaf will look like a roll of the tube now. Now feel the surface of the leaf with your fingers. Fold the opposing edges of the leaf over the center, approx 3cm from the edge over to towards the center of the roll. Now you will have a small rectangular form of the banana leaf with tapioca inside. Gently press with your palms to spread out the tapioca evenly inside. Gently place the first pack into a steamer with folds placed downwards. Once you have completed filling all the banana leaves and they are all stacked inside the steamer, heat the steamer and steam for 30 minutes. After it is steamed, remove the leaf wrap and serve with coconut cream sweetened with coconut sugar or molasses or any sweetener of your choice.
