Process the corn, black-eyed peas, onion, hot pepper, and water into a coarse puree.
Mix in the palm oil and salt, then rest the mixture for 5 minutes.
Pass the banana leaves through hot water to soften them.
Divide the mixture among the leaves, wrap into packets, and arrange in a steamer.
Steam the koki corn packets for 45 minutes.
Rest the packets for 5 minutes, then carefully open the leaves once the steam settles.
💡 Tip: Do not make the puree completely smooth; a grainy texture holds better in the steam and gives each bite body.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve koki corn hot with hot sauce, avocado, and boiled plantain.
