Boil the bananas in boiling water for 10 minutes. (boiling the bananas makes the flesh firm and beautiful).
Let the bananas cool, peel, and cut into quarters.
Put coconut milk, coconut water, salt, sugar, palm sugar and pandan leaves in a pot over medium heat. When it boils, add the bananas and turn the heat down a little and simmer for 5-8 minutes or until bananas have softened slightly.
Add the coconut meat, stir to combine, immediately remove from the heat. Serve warm or room temperature.
*Note*
In Thailand we use a variety of bananas called gluay nam wah. You could use Cavendish bananas instead. Try to use bananas that are almost ripe but not too soft or overripe.
