If you're wondering why your tamales are still raw, there are a few possible reasons. First, make sure that you're using fresh masa (dough made from ground corn). If the masa is old or stale, it won't cook properly. Second, be sure to cook the tamales on a low heat. If the heat is too high, the outside of the tamales will cook before the inside has a chance to cook through. Finally, make sure to add enough liquid to the pot when cooking the tamales. If there's not enough liquid, the tamales won't steam and cook properly. If you're following all of these tips and your tamales are still coming out raw, it's possible that your corn husks are too thick. Tamales are typically wrapped in two layers of corn husks, but if yours are particularly thick, they may be insulating the masa and preventing it from cooking through. In this case, you can try cutting the husks in half, or using a thinner layer of husks. If you're still having trouble, don't despair!
