Local name: Buli (Bis.)

Method of Preparation: Step 1: Place the salong below the upturned aluminum plate; light the tip of the scrape bark and let the smoke fill the whole upturned aluminum plate and the soot sticks to the plate. Step 2: Slightly toast the palm of buli, smash with a bolo, get the sooted aluminum plate then squeeze the smashed toasted stem on it. Make sure that the extracted juice directly falls to the aluminum plate. Make mixture from the juice and the soot.
