Boil water in a large pot and add salt, lime juice, and coconut oil.

Gradually add flour and cornmeal to the boiling water to make the dumpling dough.

Use a wooden spoon to combine the flour and water until mixed.

Knead the dough with hands for about 5 minutes until smooth.

Portion the dough into about 5 small dumplings, rolling them out and creating an indent in the center.

Add the dumplings into the boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.

Peel and chop the yam, ensuring to make a clean cut without removing too much flesh.

Add the yam to the boiling water and cook for an additional 7 minutes.

Wash the green bananas, remove the tips, and make a shallow cut down the middle of each banana.

Add the green bananas to the pot with the yam and dumplings, ensuring the water covers the food.

Set a timer for 15 minutes to cook the provisions until ready.
