Mix rice flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a bowl until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, water, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

Prepare banana leaves by cutting them into squares and lightly steaming them.

Spoon the batter onto the center of each banana leaf square.

Place the packets in a steamer basket over boiling water.

Steam for 30-40 minutes until the batter is set and firm.
