Blend the black eyed peas with hot pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and warm water until smooth.
Warm the red palm oil and slowly stir it into the bean mixture.
Pass the banana leaves through hot water to soften, then divide the mixture among the leaves.
Close the packets tightly and place them in the steamer.
Steam the koki over medium heat until firm and sliceable.
Boil the plantains, season with the remaining salt, and serve with koki slices.
