Tofu is a plant-based protein, while canned tuna is often less expensive.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and provides a different flavor.

corn flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while all-purpose is often cheaper.

Soak banana leaves in hot water until pliable, about 10 minutes.

Mix corn flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

In a separate bowl, combine water, melted butter, and lime juice.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.

Fold in cheese, fish, onion, cilantro, garlic, and pepper until evenly distributed.

Divide the dough into portions and shape into small rectangles.

Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each rectangle.

Fold the banana leaves over the filling to form a package, securing with kitchen twine if necessary.

Arrange the packages in a steamer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded.

Steam over boiling water for 30-40 minutes until firm and cooked through.

Remove from the steamer and let cool slightly before serving.
