weaving instructions<br />
Katupa are woven using young coconut<br />
leaves. There are many different styles of<br />
parcels – some types should be cut open<br />
with a knife once cooked, while others can<br />
be opened by unweaving a few strands.<br />
Here are two ways of weaving katupa.<br />

To prepare the leaf for weaving, remove<br />
the rib (to form two leaf strands) and<br />
trim both ends. Keep the two strands<br />
connected at the stalk end.<br />
