I kēlā manawa kēia manawa aʻu e nānā ai, ua like paha ka meaʻai i nā mea'Ālika e ulu nei ma ka laulaha! ʻO nā mea i ho'āʻo iā ia, ua kuʻiʻia e kāna mau meaʻona a me nā meaʻono a me ka poʻe i makemakeʻole e nānā i nā mea. ʻO ka nīnau ma luna o nā manaʻo o nā mea mua loa, "He aha kaʻu e kauoha ai ke hiki au i ka haleʻaina?".

ʻO ka mea nuiʻo "ka pauki kala" he hoʻokahi wale nō ia o nā meaʻala maikaʻi i hoʻohanaʻia me kaʻoihana akamai i ke kuke kukeʻana i ka'Iinalani! He hui ia o nā meaʻala i kapaʻiaʻo Garam Masala a hoʻokomoʻia i nā meaʻai me nā meaʻala'ē aʻe e hoʻonui i ko lākouʻono a me ka meaʻala. ʻOiai keʻano o nā meaʻai i hoʻohanaʻia, ua like kēlā me kēlā me kēia home i nāʻano pono'ī i mea e likeʻole ai ka hopena ma hope o ka home i ka home. Pēlā kēia me nā haleʻai. Hiki i kahi mea maikaʻi ke hana i kāna mau meaʻala likeʻole a pēlā paha eʻono kaʻaila ma nā mea'ē aʻe, akā,ʻo ka maikaʻi ka maikaʻi a me nā hiʻohiʻonaʻokoʻa.
