When I read the recipe at Mariena's website, I planned to make it too one day. My favorite filling in the dish is actually only the banana and it has some sourness and sweetness. They just blend nicely.
Finally, I bought one sweet potato and some bananas (I think they are called as lady finger bananas. This type of banana is firmer and more suitable for cooking. Not the 'usual' bananas for smoothies and milk shake.). However, I got a different type of sweet potato as the colour is not orange. This type is similar to kumara and the taste is not bad with palm sugar syrup.

1 sweet potato, cut into pieces, half circle
1 banana, cut into pieces
1/2 palm sugar (gula aren), shreded, approximately
0.5 cup coconut milk, Kara
