Week 5 Challenge

Karawhiua - Give it a Go!

Kia ora tamariki

Continuing on from my challenges all about Kai from last week... I thought I would include our whānau recipe for Māori fried bread (Paraoa Parai) which are a favourite in our household any time of the day!

These small pillows of bread with their light fluffy texture are similar to doughnuts and eaten with lashings of butter and golden syrup!

Recipe
Ingredients
4 cups standard flour
1 sachet of dried yeast
1/2 cup sugar
3 cups warm water

Method
1. Put flour into bowl
2. Make a well in the center
3. In a jug mix the yeast in 1 cup of the warm water and the  sugar
4. Once mixed add the remaining 2 cups of warm water
5. Pour wet mix into the well and gradually mix from the middle out.
6. Cover with clean cloth and leave to prove in a warm place for 2 and a half hours
7. Once it has doubled in size turn out onto a floured surface, cut into 10cm x 10cm squares (approximately) and shallow fry in oil. 
Please ask an adult to do the frying!

Eat immediately with butter and golden syrup!
You're welcome

Week 4 Challenge

Karawhiua - Give it a Go!

Kia ora tamariki

Here are 3 fun ideas of ways in which you could help improve your Te Reo and Tikanga Māori (Māori language and custom)

Kai! (Food) One of my favourite topics!

Koru Whānau 
Look at the huarākau (fruit) below and choose your top 5. Draw and label them in Te Reo. Maybe you could use them to make a fruit salad.

If you have access to a printer perhaps you could print out two copies by clicking here. Cut them out and have a game of memory with a member of your whānau.

Kowhai Whānau

Look at the whurutu (fruit) above and seperate them into two lists - likes (E pai ana) and dislikes (Kāore e pai ana)
You could use the link below to draw them onto two plates and label.
Likes and Dislikes

Kauri Whānau

Can you find out the meaning of the following words:

kai moana
kai whenua


See if you can come up with 5 examples of traditional Māori kaimoana and kaiwhenua that would have been eaten before the English settlers arrived. 

Have you been to a hangi before? Write a short description of what you experienced and what you ate.
Check out this fun video of how to prepare a traditional hangi.

Arya from Room 12 has sorted the kai and has even included how they are good for our bodies! Tu meke!
