How to Make DUCANA || TERRI-ANN’S KITCHEN

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: soy milk

Almond milk is lower in calories and can mimic the creaminess.

sweet potatoes

🥗Healthier: butternut squash

💰Cheaper: regular potatoes

Butternut squash offers similar sweetness and texture.

Prepare the banana leaves by cleaning them and pouring hot water over them to soften.

In a bowl, combine grated sweet potato, flour, grated coconut, sugar, grated carrots, ginger, vanilla essence, cinnamon, nutmeg, and water.

Mix the ingredients until well combined, achieving a good consistency.

Take a generous amount of the mixture and place it on a banana leaf.

Wrap the banana leaf over the mixture, folding it securely.

Tie the wrapped mixture with string to secure it well.

In a pan, add about 1.5 cups of water and place the wrapped ducana in the pan, ensuring not to add too much water to avoid drowning the parcels.

Cover the pan and steam the ducana for about 25-30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, check the ducana; it should be nicely steamed and cooked through.

Let the ducana cool off a bit before serving.
