  • Now, add this back in batches in your food processor and process for a second time and transfer to a clean bowl
  • Make sure the bowl is big enough to allow for expansion

  • Prepare your steamer by heating the Water, oiling the katoris or bowls and tie the lid with a cloth to prevent the condensation from falling back into the Sannas

  • Cook for 15 - 30 mins
  • Allow to cool & unfold
