Koba Akondro

What we know so far

Koba is the Malagasy snack sold hot from baskets in every town: a batter of mashed ripe banana, rice flour, ground peanuts and brown sugar, wrapped in a banana leaf and steamed until it sets into a dense, sweet, nutty cake. Koba akondro ("banana koba") is the small home version; the koba ravina of the markets is a long log of rice paste around a peanut-sugar core, boiled for a day and sold in slices. Both are eaten in the late afternoon, the way children buy them on the way home from school.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
