Recipe for Pain Malagasy (‘Madagascan bread’)>

Soak the rice in cold water for two to three hours, then pound it in a mortar. Once it is finely pounded, add the same amount of ripe bananas and pound again. Then place small portions in two Cameroon cardamom leaves laid crosswise and boil in water. It tastes delicious!
