Method
- 1 Choose bananas that are just ripe, still slightly firm so they don't fall apart when cooked.
- 2 Cut the bananas into diagonal slices and soak them in diluted salt water to prevent browning.
- 3 Simmer the coconut milk with pandan leaves, palm sugar, and salt, making sure not to let it boil vigorously.
- 4 Add the bananas and simmer for 6 minutes, until they become translucent.
- 5 Adjust the seasoning to balance the salt and sweetness, then serve.

Replace step 4: arrange the bananas in a single layer in the bowl, pour in the hot coconut milk, cover tightly, and bake on the middle rack of the oven at 160 degrees for 10 minutes; the gentle heat around the bowl prevents the coconut milk from sticking to the bottom. Keep step 5 as is to adjust the seasoning.
