Tikanga ki te whakarite tēnei kai. Raua te mahuna poaka ki roto i te kohua, ka whakakiihia te kohua ki te wai katahi ka paira. Pairahia te mahuna poaka kia ngāwari ngā miti kia taka ra anō ngā miti i te paroiwi, ā, kia hinuhinu tonu te wai kohua. Raua ngā miti ki roto i tētahi rihi ka konatunatuhia. I muri mai i tēnā, raua ō mixed veges, me te wai kohua, engari kia paku noa te wai kohua, ka raua atu ki roto i te pouaka makariri kia maro ai tō parone.

Hiya, tried your recipe, 4 cups to 1 litre? Turned to soup, had to add another 4 cups of flour to get a dough consistency.
the fried bread recipe turned to soup for me aswell but i found another one that worked here http://www.maori-in-oz.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=104&Itemid=1
This recipe is tino reka. I think the water should be 1/2 litre not 1 litre as this amount worked well for me.
Thanx, Trying recipe now, although have used half a litre of water.
For all those who put the water straight into the mix instead of putting it in a bit at a time this is for you –
when you are working with any type of dough (unless specified otherwise) You add your wet ingredients a little at a time because the amount that has been given is not neccessarily the amount that you need; it may be a little less or even a liitle more. hope that helps with future recipes you try :)
Um, not to let the air out of your bread, but isn’t this the recipe for…bread?
And did Maori even have yeast, flour, sugar?
Bloody think they invented bread now, do they?
