content: Edited film: a woman from the atoll Nonuti begins to prepare this dish by paring a taro bulb of the variety Cyrtosperma chamissonis, cutting it up into small pieces, and mashing it. Palm syrup and coconut milk are added to the mash which is kneaded and divided into small flat cakes. These cakes are tied up in leaves and are baked in an earth oven.
