Peel the white sweet potato and cassava.

Cut the cassava in half.

Grate the cassava and sweet potato until you have about 2 to 3 cups of grated mixture.

Grate about 1 cup of coconut.

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, cassava, grated coconut, cornmeal (about 1/3 cup), flour (about 1/2 cup), and sugar (1 cup).

Add half a teaspoon of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of grated nutmeg to the mixture.

Mix all ingredients well using your hands to ensure there are no lumps.

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture and fold it in.

Prepare a pot of water, adding a cinnamon stick and some vanilla extract for flavoring.

Cut banana leaves into squares and soften them by running them over an open flame or soaking them in water.

Spoon the mixture onto the center of each banana leaf square and fold it to create a packet.

Tie the packets securely with strips from the banana bark or string.

Place the packets in the pot of boiling water and cover to steam them for about 30-40 minutes until firm and cooked through.

Remove the packets from the pot and allow them to cool slightly before unwrapping.
