Mix all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl.

Activate yeast in warm water until bubbly, about 5 minutes.

Combine yeast mixture with flour mixture and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Prepare the filling by mashing bananas and mixing with palm sugar and cardamom.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.

Spread the banana filling evenly over the dough.

Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into pieces.

Place the rolls in a steamer and steam for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

Alternatively, fry the rolls in butter until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.

Serve warm, garnished with coconut flakes and sesame seeds.
