Step-by-step

Using a different robot? Switch it here:

Put the chancaca, water, cinnamon, cloves and orange peel in the mixing bowl. Set 12 min/100°C/speed 1 to make a syrup. Strain.
Mix the grated cassava with the chancaca syrup in a bowl until well combined.
Pass the banana leaves over heat so they become pliable and cut into portions.
Place a portion of the mixture on each leaf, wrap and tie into little packets.
Steam the chapanas in the Varoma: put 700 ml water in the mixing bowl and set 40 min/Varoma/speed 1.
Let cool slightly before unwrapping and serving.
