Peel and wash the cassavas.

Slice the cassavas in half and remove the veins.

Grate the cassavas using the fine side of the grater.

Squeeze out the moisture from the grated cassava using a clean cloth or cheesecloth.

Place the dry cassava in a separate bowl after squeezing out the moisture.

Break down the cassava with your hands to achieve a flour-like consistency, removing any lumps.

Sift the cassava to ensure it is fine and free of lumps.

Prepare a skillet on low heat and warm it up for 5 minutes.

Fill aluminum molds with the cassava mixture, aiming for 1.5 to 2 inch bamis without pressing down yet.

Press down on the bamis after filling the molds to ensure they cook evenly.

Carefully remove the mold and flip the bamis using a spatula, allowing the other side to cook for 1-2 minutes.

Continue the process until all bamis are ready.
