Method
- Use kolis leaves only when a knowledgeable local source has identified them as edible; for an ordinary home kitchen, softened banana leaves are the dependable wrapper.
- Sauté onion and ginger in coconut oil until fragrant.
- Fold in rice, corn, coconut, salt, and pepper and cook until evenly hot.
- Cool the mixture until warm enough to handle.
- Divide among double leaf layers and press into compact rectangles.
- Fold securely and arrange seam-side down in a steamer.
- Steam 20 minutes to set the parcels and perfume the rice.
- Rest 5 minutes and serve warm with grilled or stewed food.
