Method
- Confirm kolis leaves are correctly identified as edible; otherwise use softened banana leaves.
- Steam sweet potato and taro 5 minutes to start softening them.
- Combine root crops, saba, coconut, ginger, coconut milk, muscovado, and salt.
- Divide among double leaf layers, keeping portions compact and even.
- Fold tightly and arrange seam-side down in a steamer.
- Steam 25–30 minutes until a skewer enters every root crop easily.
- Rest 5 minutes before opening so the coconut mixture settles.
- Serve warm as a snack or side.
