Steps

1

Mash 6 of the bananas. Set aside the remaining 2 bananas for decorating.
2

In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, and arrowroot flour (or extra tapioca starch if substituting).
3

Gradually add the coconut milk to the flour mixture, mixing and kneading until smooth and well combined.
4

In a separate bowl, mix the palm sugar, granulated sugar, and salt with the remaining coconut milk. Stir until the sugars dissolve. Add this mixture to the dough from step 3 and knead until fully combined. (For a smoother texture, you can strain the batter.)
5

Add the mashed bananas from step 1 to the batter and mix well.
6

Lightly grease your molds. Slice the remaining 2 bananas into rounds and place a slice in the center of each mold. Pour the batter from step 5 into the molds.
7

Steam the filled molds over boiling water for 20 minutes. Remove from the molds, arrange on a plate, and serve.
