We call it Ducana here in the U.S. Virgin Islands as well! One of my favorites! Thanks for sharing!

[@SunnyGhandle]

Love this dish! Highlights the oneness between Caribbean countries with Africa. In this case Ghana 🇬🇭. Also known as Donkunu/Kenkey there, similar in name to Dukunu (tradition name in Jamaica). Main ingredient is cornmeal in all dishes.

[@Natasha-oz6ik]

- absolutely! Throughout the Caribbean and Latin America you’ll see all the roots of West African cuisine. It’s amazing how food survives❤️

[@ImaniDMoses]

How I missed this?????? One of the best dishes I've ever tasted 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬

[@YesNess__]

Omg yessss!!!!!! I've been waiting for this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬 God bless you girl!

Thanks for sharing one of the favourites from my beautiful island ...Antigua!!!!🇦🇬

[@kellyannr4171]

Kiss mi rawtid, yuh know how fi mek Dukunuh also known as blue drawz?!?! You are the real true MVP!! I am so damn excited for this recipe that I am about to jump out of my skin! One of my favorites as a child. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🙌🏽

Representing 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬

[@BluemoonLacrymosa]

Yes Antiguan Ducana :)! I'm so hungry now! I've never added ginger before and usually use golden raisins in place of carrots for sweetness. Still, nice work!

[@Kimai1016]

Nice job! I’ve been looking out for your recipe lol. What a treat. We call it ducana in the 🇻🇮US Virgin Islands, too. We use white sweet potato, coconut, sugar, spices and sometimes add raisins and we mostly wrap in foil paper. But I love the consistency when wrapped in banana leaf. We traditionally eat it with salt fish for Easter on Good Friday.

[@vanessaamber7344]

In Barbados🇧🇧 they are known as Conkies / stew dumplings we add pumpkin and sometimes add raisin

[@albertedwards3803]

Conkies are made with cornmeal not sweet potatoes

[@vanessaamber7344]

[@ulukiabryan2944]

@@albertedwards3803 in st.kitts our conkies is made with sweet potatoes

[@albertedwards3803]

I am From ST Lucia but reside in the U.S.A. ,👉 I must try it with sweet potatoes, 👉i have never tried it.sound interesting.🌴☀👣🙏

[@fgs2732]

In Antigua , some people, not all add raisins.

[@yvonneclarke5830]

In Barbados it’s called Conkie. Substitute carrots with grated pumpkin and corn meal flour used

[@ebunlewis1]

I literally thought this was Nigerian moin moin! Very very similar in terms of texture, it’s also traditionally wrapped in banana leaf and steamed! It’s just fascinating to see the similarities in cuisines 🤗

[@LVLV-im3ne]

This dish reminds me a lot of a Central American dish my family makes during holiday time. You impress with the variety of dishes you make. I enjoy this channel!

[@shantellstonar3365]

My grandma use to make this , as a child on Sundays .. if it’s the same thing as blue draws❤️♥️

[@gcbwoods]

I was thinking about that. Wondering if it was the same thing as our Blue Draws in Jamaica 🇯🇲

[@SunnyGhandle]

Its the same, as blue draws has an alternative name in Jamaican Dukunu and Tie a leaf. Dukunu comes from the Akan Tribe of Ghana which they call it Donkonu/Kenkey. Similar ingredients and cooking method. 👌🏾 🇯🇲🇬🇭

[@dulceymocha]

We call it conkies in Barbados

[@belizeanempress71]

I'm from Belize and we call it Ducunu,,but we make ours from corn,,sooo Yummy 😋🇧🇿. We eat ours with chicken, pork or by itself.

[@LebanAfroTrinichick]

In Trinidad and Tobago we call it Pamie we use corn flour and no sweet potatoes been a while since I made some .🇹🇹😋😋

[@alvarezah]

Its always pleasant randomly running into lucians in the world even on the internet! Vieux fort boy saying hello from canada! I enjoy your channel it brings me a taste of what I had growing up in black Bay!

[@AngelaElikya]

It look like something that we eat in Congo 🇨🇩 it’s called chikwangue ! That’s crazy we all kinda eat the same thing all over the world

[@gwendyer2870]

So true my dear.I'm from Antigua 🇦🇬 living in the USA 🇺🇸 the names of our food are different but the same thing. My friend from Jamaica 🇯🇲 they call Dukuna Blue Draws.its made slite different but is the same

[@driaannbull]

Back when in primary school (Tortola,BVI)we made these along with the teachers. First time ever, eating them. I believe the recipe came from someone from Dominica. They were delicious! 😋 Since that time, I think the last time I had some was last year, when I went home for vacay, I believe.🤷🏾‍♀️ You go woman! 👍🏾

[@SBrown-ej5vp]

One of my favorite dishes to eat is Antiguan Duncana!! 😍😍 My mouth is watering!! Great video & thanks for sharing!! #268 🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬

[@bigmama5048]

Dokun is a plantain leaf wrapped steamed corn dough food from Cape-Coast and the Fante people of Ghana. We have rice and You also have maize versions in the Caribbean There are other Caribbean foods with their roots in West Africa not surprising

[@mellioneowens5667]

I'm here waiting on the grated green bananas lol Then I realized u r using sweet potatoes instead hahaha 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲Ducunu, tie a leaf, blue draws🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

[@saderodney9409]

Wow this bringing up all the feels! Grandma use to make this when I was younger with her sweet potato pudding 🥺🥺😭😭☺️☺️☺️. But she called it blue drawz in Jamaica.

[@capricornlife5778]

My husband is from Antigua. He loves this dish

[@briatheodore2507]

One of my favourite dishes 😍. Ducana🇦🇬🇦🇬

[@shanac5884]

Terri-Ann you are always on time with the recipes! I was literally in two minds whether to pick up some banana leaf at the market on Saturday in order to try and make this for the first time. I am definitely going to pick it up when i go back this weekend. My family is from St Kitts & Nevis and we call this conkie.

[@joy-annpayne6651]

🇦🇬🇦🇬🇦🇬I missed eating Ducana and saltfish!!! I never had it with carrot 🥕

[@Garcia-nj8ov]

Omg it's crazy how two totally different recipes can be so different yet look exactly the same ! This looks exactly like Puerto Rican Pasteles but the ingredients are completely different with the exception of them both being wrapped in banana leafs and boiling at the end....

[@donna8743]

First time I am knowing about this dish. I must give this a try. The coconut got me💕

[@chefamirasakile3093]

My mom is Jamaican so I’ve had Ducana before but I have to try your recipe on my channel! Thanks for sharing 🥰

[@YAHSWarrior7777]

Thanks so much for this recipe. My son’s Auntie did give me this recipe about 20 years ago, and I lost it! I remember she used white sweet potato in her mixture..Also if you don’t have the banana leaf, you can put mixture in foil paper. Now I can make these Ducana properly! Yes Mon, blessings!🙏🏾

[@TERRIANNSKITCHEN]

Yes foil can be used

[@appolineherman4573]

We use a similar technique to cook something called Hallacas in Venezuela. Interesting to see how the technique and what other uses for it has spread across the Caribbean :)

[@Sweetpea3026]

Ginger and coconut is the best combo in any dessert. Im more amazed at how you wrapped the filling with the delicate leaves and little bow ❤

I'm watching from the United States Virgin Islands....THE WORLD'S PARADISE!!!

[@misticallymistie]

I normally allow rhe water in the pot to come to a rolling boil and then add the ducunna to the pot. I also use more water so the ducunna is completely submerged when I cook it

[@jenniferbeathea7906]

Yummy😉

[@kerrygotcake]

We call it the same thing in st.vincent love the channel

[@CarissaBM45]

In Trinidad 🇹🇹 we call it “Pamie” but we use cornmeal, raisins and pumpkin.

[@Victoria-bo9xk]

Reminds me of nancatamal a traditional Nicaraguan dish

[@Joycelyn]

Ducana looks good. It reminds me of a Ghanaian dish called kenkey.

[@SunnyGhandle]

Yes a derivative Joycelyn. I believe in Ghana they also call it Donkunu, which in Jamaica its traditionally called Dukunu. Our Ghanaian ancestors passed it down to us 🇯🇲🤍🇬🇭

[@user-rm9nc2kv2g]

Kenkey is used to eat fish and things like that right?

[@SunnyGhandle]

Adaku O. Yes, there’s a dish with Fish, pepper sauce and Kenkey that is commonly eaten in Ghana. But ofc you can eat Kenkey with whatever meat you choose. Similar to how we would eat dumpling/boiled yam to any meat of our choice

[@daintyflygirl4va]

Similar to us in the Pacific Islands.We made this using sago starch mic with ripe banana, casava, grated green banana etc

[@krithikapillai111]

We eat this in South India (Kerala) tooo! 🇮🇳💞 its called Ada in Malayalam.

[@g3mini_p3t3]

😍😍😍😍😋😋😋😋 this go good with some stew piggssss and a glass of cold carrot n beet juice... gonna hibernate after this meal 😂😂

In Haïti we have a quite similar dish called Doukounou . Unfortunately, the recipe is almost extinct. Even my parents generation doesn't know how to do it . I'm soon to be 30.
