HOW TO WRAP THE MOIN MOIN LEAF
 


Hold the leaf (a big one) in your hand




 Fold the right side in.




Bring the left side in over across the first side and turn it round.  A v-shaped funnel will be formed.
Hold it properly at the tail end and make  sure it’s well tucked in to avoid leakage.



Flip it to the back to make a click sound.


Open the leaf a little wide with your hand and scoop some moin moin pudding in the leaf. Enough for the leaf to cover.

Close it up and turn the leaf to the back. Put it in the pot and cover with some leaves to cook.
