Wash rice thoroughly under cold water until water runs clear.

Soak rice in water for at least 2 hours.

Drain the soaked rice and add to a pot with fresh water and salt.

Cook the rice over medium heat until tender and water is absorbed, about 20 minutes.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly before handling.

In a separate bowl, mix palm oil, groundnut paste, and finely chopped vegetables.

Take a portion of the cooked rice and flatten it in your palm.

Place a spoonful of the mixture in the center of the rice and fold the rice over to form a ball.

Wrap each ball in banana leaves or place in a steamer basket.

Steam the rice balls for about 15-20 minutes until heated through.

Serve warm with additional groundnut paste or sauce on the side.
