Combine the coconut lowfat milk, sufficient water to fill 1 coconut lowfat milk can, evaporated lowfat milk, Large eggs, sugar and bananas in a large pot and heat over medium heat till barely simmering, about 4 to 5 min. Slowly pour in the roasted semolina, mixing well to avoid lumps. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, till thick. Add in the butter or possibly margarine while stirring. Pour the batter into the pan and bake till a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is proportionately golden, 1 hour. Sprinkle the top with the poppy seeds. Place under the broiler and broil 2 min. Cold to room temperature, cover and let stand overnight. Cut into diamonds to serve. The cake will be moist, not fluffy. Chill any leftovers. Reheat to room temperature before serving. This recipe yields 6 to 10 servings. Comments: "Shwe gye" is Burmese for semolina. Semolina can be found at specialty markets and health food shops.

This is my Aunt Sakina's recipe. It is an excellent banana snack cake which uses semolina instead of flour but you wont even know the difference it is so light and fluffy and jam packed with banana and flavour. Do give it a try you wont be disappointed! It makes a huge 9x13-inch pan cake and can be halved successfully. It does not require icing. Lovely for tea-time.
