Chop up the coconut and peel the sweet potatoes.

Grate the sweet potatoes using the finest side of the grater.

Boil the saltfish, changing the water to reduce saltiness, boiling it twice if necessary.

Mix grated sweet potatoes with coconut, sugar, white flour, and evaporated milk.

Add raisins to the mixture and combine well.

Wrap the mixture in banana leaves, tying them securely.

Place the wrapped ducana in boiling water to cook for about 45 minutes.

Prepare the saltfish mixture by sautéing onion, tomato, and tomato paste in oil, then adding the boiled and flaked saltfish, along with okra, pumpkin, and choba.

Serve the ducana warm with the saltfish mixture on top.
