Ingredients
- 8 banana leaves or aluminum foil
- 1 coconut grated, dry
- 3 lb sweet potato 1.4 kg, grated
- 2 cups flour 480 ml
- ½ cup sugar 120 ml
- ½ cup water 120 ml
- 1 tbsp vanilla 15 ml
- ½ tsp cinnamon 2 ml
- ½ tsp salt 2 ml
- ¼ tsp nutmeg 1 ml
Instructions
- Wash banana leaves and remove central stems.
- Cut leaves into 5-inch (13 cm) squares.
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add leaves and blanch for about 10 seconds to soften. Remove and run under water to cool. Set aside.
- Combine all remaining ingredients, mixing to make a very soft dough. Add a little extra water if dough is too stiff, or add flour if dough is too liquid.
- Place about ½ cup dough on each leaf. Fold to make a neat parcel. Secure by tying with kitchen twine or leftover strips of banana leaf. Dough can also be wrapped in aluminum foil if banana leaves are unavailable.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add ducuna packets and simmer for about 45 minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
