When The Seeds Been Ground Then They Put The Damper Seeds Into Wooden Dish And Put Coals On Top. It Takes Few Hours Until The Damper Seed Is Cooked. They Then Take The Dish From The Fire And Prick The Damper With The Stick Whether It Is Cooked Or Not. If The Stick Dry They Put The Dish With The Damper Out To Let It Cool Off.
