Get a medium-sized fresh coconut and blend it to extract coconut milk, yielding about 3 cups.

Cut up 2 pounds of Jamaican sweet potato and cassava into manageable sizes for blending.

Blend the sweet potato and cassava with 2 cups of coconut milk until smooth.

In a mixing bowl, combine the blended mixture with refined cornmeal, nutmeg, cinnamon powder, brown cane sugar, raisins, and unsweetened coconut flakes.

Mix all the ingredients until well combined.

Ensure the mixture is not too thick; it should have some liquid to allow for expansion during cooking.

Prepare banana leaves for wrapping the mixture, ensuring they are clean and pliable.

Spoon the mixture onto the banana leaves and fold them securely.

Use string or corn husks to tie the banana leaves tightly to prevent bursting during cooking.

Boil the wrapped mixture in water for about 30-45 minutes, checking for doneness.
