Dough:
Step 1
To make the dough you need to have about 4-5 cups of Pandan Extract. 
To make the Pandan Extract, put 1 package of Pandan Leaves and 5-6 cups of water into a blender.  They strain it out to get the Pandan liquid.

Step 2
Put 1 bag of Glutinous Flour in a bowl.  Add in the Pandan Extract little by little until it has a doughy texture. 
Add in enough Pandan Extract so the dough is not too dry or too sticky.

Making the Sticky Rice Cake
Because our Banana Leaves was kind of too stiff.  We had to dip it in hot water.  If your Banana Leaves is not stiff you can skip this step.
Divide the dough into equal pieces. Take one piece of the dough, flatten it and put in the fillings.  Then roll it into a round ball.  Spread a little bit of oil on it.
Using the Banana Leaves make a cone shape.  Put in the ball, fold the two sides in ward and over.
Steam for 20-25 minutes or until it is cooked.
