Rinse the beans in a strainer until the skins are removed.

Blend the beans with about 1 cup of water until it forms a paste.

Transfer the blended beans to a large bowl and add more water if too thick.

Add palm oil to the bean mixture, adjusting to preference.

Mix in the chopped ingredients: onions, eggplant, habanero, and bell peppers.

Add 3 Maggi cubes and salt to taste, then mix well.

Create pockets with aluminum foil and fill with the mixture, leaving space to close.

Place the filled foil pockets in a steamer pot.

Steam for 45-50 minutes, covering with a plastic bag to prevent steam escape.
