Vegan Tamales

[JJJ]

Gayle I never measure, so sorry. If I were to guess I say 5 cups of flour and 1/2 cup of coconut oil. I use coconut oil because I'm going vegan but you can use lard. I do warm the oil so its easier to even it out. Then I just pour water until the masa is smooth. Oh and I sift the salt before I pour the liquids and a pinch of baking powder.

I did not taste coconut at all.

I prepare the lentils like usual. Salt, onions, garlic and few cabinet spices.
