Tamales are a traditional Panamanian dish made from masa (a dough made from corn) that is filled with various ingredients such as chicken, pork, or vegetables. The masa is spread on a banana leaf, then the filling is added, and the tamale is wrapped and steamed until cooked. Tamales are often served during special occasions and holidays, and they are a labor of love as they require time and effort to prepare. The result is a delicious and comforting dish that is enjoyed by many Panamanians.
