Good morning ?
Christmas this year was definitely different. For the 1st time, we couldn’t really gather with friends and not even relatives, only your immediate household. At least here in BC, Canada. How about where you reside? How did you have your Christmas?
Regardless, we still made various foods, and tons of them ?
One of the menus was Tamales ? Not really Mexican per se, as I filled it with Indonesian flavored beef filling ?
Was so happy to find masa harina here at a local grocery store. Before, we always had to purchase them either while in the US or from Amazon ?
Filling
At least 500 g ground beef
5 garlic
1/3 – 1/2 c diced purple onion
1-2 c of chopped/sliced cabbage
1 tsp Ground cumin, or to taste
1/2 tsp fennel, more or less to your liking
At least 1/2 tsp cayenne powder, the more the better ?

Water, if needed, just enough
Dough
