Cooking approach and texture

The technique here centres on roasting. Keep preparation organised before heating the pan, then cook gently so grains, batter or vegetables reach the right texture without becoming dry.

One useful cue from the method is to first, take paua, cut two small potatoes into square shapes, then add water to the paua, wash it and keep it for ten minutes, then add 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoo. Continue through the remaining steps in order so the ingredients come together with a more consistent finish.
