Lalis is a bitter jungle plant which looks like rattan. Food foragers will cut the right length of the stems and carry them home,usually for their own food, or for sale in the tamu.
The lalis is then shredded into small slices with a parang, after its skin is peeled off. The slices are blanched in some water with salt. It is then drained and cooled.
Banana flowers are then prepared to be cooked together with the lalis. The two vegetables are stir fried together with some dried prawns or dried fish and then some curry powder or just tumeric powder is added to spice up the dish.
finally about 200 cc of coconut milk is added. Add more water if the dish is a bit too dry.
Nice. Bitter,and even sweet to some people who love lalis but fragrant and appetising.
