Chimbama/Mkate

== Ingredients ==
* 15 very ripe bananas, peeled
* 1 to 2 cups ufa (cornmeal or cassava flour, preferably ngaiwa)
* banana leaves
== Directions ==
# Take banana leaves and pass them over a fire.
# This makes them pliable.
# Run a knife down the spine of the leaf, trimming off the thick part.
# Cut them into thirds and rinse in water.
# Pound bananas with a mortar and pestle.
# Pound in enough ufa to make a dough.
# Place about a hamburger patty-sized amount of dough on each third of the banana leaf.
# Completely wrap dough up with the leaf.
# Place bundles in a pot vertically (do not pile too high) with enough water to cover the bottom.
# Cover and place on a fire.
# Place more coals on the lid.
# Check after 20 to 30 minutes.
# The dough should be bread-like inside.
