- Take 1 banana leaf and add about 1 to 2 tbsp of the mash banana mixture right in the center. Fold the 2 ends of banana leaf like you would fold a letter covering the the banana mixture and carefully tuck under the left and right end of the banana leaf. There... you got yourself a cute banana packet! :)
