How to use
The use of Asanka requires skill, forearm strength, and correct technique to prevent sore wrists. Ingredients are chopped into pieces prior to placing into the Asanka to make grinding easier. Ridges in the Asanka reduce overall surface area in contact with ingredients, enabling it to grind effectively. Forceful use of a wooden masher, the eta or tapoli, uses the friction between the ridges to mix the ingredients. Repeating the process will pulverize and mix the ingredients over time.Шаблон:Citation needed
