sweet potatoes

🥗Healthier: butternut squash

Butternut squash offers similar sweetness and texture.

Grate 3.5 cups of sweet potato and place it in a large bowl.

Add 2 cups of grated coconut, 1 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of raisins, 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger to the bowl.

Mix everything together thoroughly by hand.

Add 3 tablespoons of butter and 1 cup of all-purpose flour to the mixture and mix again until well combined.

Prepare banana leaves by wiping them with a damp cloth and heating them to make them flexible.

Spoon the mixture onto pieces of banana leaf or foil and fold them into packets.

Place the packets in a pot of boiling water, ensuring the edges are sealed to prevent water from entering.

Cover and let them cook for about 50 minutes.
