Cooking Tips

• Make sure to soak the mustard seeds in water for at least 30 minutes before blending to soften them.
• If you don't have banana leaves, you can use aluminum foil as a substitute for wrapping the beans.
• For a smoky flavor, you can grill the wrapped beans over charcoal instead of steaming them.
