Arindam: -Hello viewers, don’t be surprised be seeing these tribal people in my background. Do you know where I am? I am in a forest of South Eastern New Zealand.
Ryann: -hooaaa …, I am the guide of this forest…welcome to this New Zealand forest.
Arindam: -Uff, Ryann, please control yourself. Viewers, Ryann will guide us through this forest. I am really afraid of these tribal people. Baapre baap, they look so dangerous. Hey, Ryann, what is the name of this tribe?
Ryann:- This tribe is the famous Maori tribe. Hey, you come here. Sir, this is Danume. He will take us to the place, where cooking will take place.
Arindam: -Viewers, actually, someone invited our Sain Director for a Maori feast. So, he planned to do a program on it. Really, as an anchor, I am just exploring around the world, eating different types of foods.
***************
Ryann:- Look here, this is the place where they have digged a big hole in the ground only.
Danume:- Ya, now, we will use these rocks. These rocks are known as Auckland Blue found in Dargaville regions of Auckland. These rocks are blackish-blue in color and is a type of igneous rocks.
Arindam:- I am not getting any head or tail about this. These tribal people are going to cook food using rocks and that too on the ground. Oh! No, they have created a big hole there, and kept those rocks and timber wood. The timber woods have been kept layer by layer, the lighter ones at the bottom and the hard one at the top. Arrey, what are they doing now? Hey, what are these wet sacks for?
Ryann: -These wet sacks will be covered on the hole. It will work like the lid of a pressure cooker. See, the mechanism is very simple. We have used the rocks as the oven, timbers as the source of fire from which the oven will get heated. We created a hole, where the food baskets will be placed.
Arindam: -in our Indian villages, we have chulaas, where we cook food by using woods only. Now, what is so funny about this kind of cooking?
Danume: -Look at the hole there. We have added ashes there. Now, when you will lit up fire, within half an hour, a steam will get generated in that hole, which gives a different taste to the cooked foods.
Ryann:- Now, what are you going to cook, today, Danume?
Danume:- We will cook the roasted lamb. See, in this process, cooking takes time, at least 2.5 to 3 hours. So, we, the Maori tribal people always make all the recipe preparation the previous night and keep it in a food basket. That food basket is kept in another hole, where heated rocks and timbers are also kept. That helps in keeping the recipe hot. The next morning, that is today, we will now put that food basket inside that hole, covered with wet sacks. Now, burn the timber. See, we have lit up the fire. Let it be like that for 2.5 hours. After every 1 hour, we will change the sacks and the content of ashes in the hole.
Arindam: -Babah, yeh log khana pakaa raha hai ki… foods ka chitaah jwalaa raha hai…aise laag raha hai, jaise koi mar gaya hai…usko jwalaa diya…oh! The roasted lamb is cooked. Wow, really this roasted lamb is very tasty and yes, due to this chulaah, there is a different steamy wooden smell added to this food. But, believe me; this kind of preparation is invented only by these Maori tribes. They are of the opinion that, it is the healthiest way of cooking meats. Hardly, many people are aware of this special chulaah. Ok, let me eat. See you later. Bye.
