First: boil water to boil the cassava leaves. Finely chop the cassava leaves. Wait until it boils then add the cassava leaves until the cassava leaves are cooked, the texture of the cassava leaves becomes soft. Turn off the stove and drain. Or you can also boil the cassava leaves first, after they are cooked, then chop them.
