3 Done	Remove the pieces of chicken or pork from the dressing, then add the cornmeal, the oil and move in an enveloping way so that it does not stick. The color of the tamale will depend on the amount of red pepper and yellow pepper you use. If you wish, add a little more of both peppers so that it has more color and flavor. It is to everyone's taste ? To know that the flour is ready, take two tablespoons on the table, wait for it to cool and if this dough does not stick in your hands it is ready ?.
4 Done	Now let's put the tamales together. Take some dough and place it on the banana leaf that you have previously cut the size you want. For this the red chili must be with a little oil so that it does not stick. Divide that dough into eight portions respectively.
