Lepat Pisang, also known as Steamed Banana Parcel Cake.

This is my own version of Lepat Pisang with steamed sago, banana and pandan wrapped in banana leaf.  The original Lepat Pisang is made with just plain flour and banana instead. This is not a traditional lepat pisang but I am sure you’ll enjoy it!
