Indonesian Traditional Banana Coconut Milk Steamed Pudding (Barongko)

This dessert is originally from Southern Sulawesi, one province in Indonesia
It's really yummy and oh so smooth, it's very easy to enjoy  finish :)
And one thing, it's so easy to make too





Recipe is from Hesti's site
Thank you Hesti for introducing me to one of sweet dessert from the place where DH was born :)

What you need:

8 ripe saba bananas - remove the core
250ml coconut milk (I do not like it so thick, so I mixed 150ml Kara coconut milk with 100 water)
2 eggs
2 tbsp sweet condensed milk
1/4 tsp salt
50g sugar
banana leaf for the base
  1. Blend together bananas, coconut milk and eggs til very smooth
  2. Add in sweet condensed milk and, salt and sugar. Mix well
  3. Line banana leaf on a heat resistant bowl, pour the batter on it
  4. Steam in preheated steamer for 20 minutes or til cooked

Note:

*** As you can see from Hesti's pictures, that's how it's originally served - individually wrapped in banana leaf
Mine is just the easy short cut LOL - believe me, it's still as fragrant :)
*** Using saba banana and also removing the core is to yield pale color of the pudding, most other bananas will give yellowish/brownish shade for the end result after steaming
But it doesn't affect the taste and texture, though
