Tamale

This one a long process! Start with the tamale flour and mix well.






Then wash the corn husks. Prepare your meat - tinga pollo - or your choice.





Wrap the meat in the corn flour batter.








Place in a steaming cooker - takes about an hour.







Ready to serve - with cabbage salsa!

Pakori

Start with some besan - flour of garbanzo beans. Add some salt, spices, chili powder, ajvien. Add some water and mix into a paste to create the batter.




Chop some potatoes and spinach. Add to the batter and mix well. Usually you would really deep-fry this but you can use a pan and slightly less oil too. Drop in the mix in small chunks and let them cook. Ready to server with your favorite chutneys and sauces!
