Smooth Translation

When you ask a Terran mother, how do you make a really delicious dish, she will likely answer as follows:

You need beef, potato, onion, butter, good oil, water, salt, pepper, Chinese spice-mixture, "black sauce", also flour made from oats or wheat. Finely chop the meat, potato, onions, into very small pieces-- put the mixture aside in a bowl with pepper and a bit of salt. Use the flour, water, butter, pepper, Chinese spices and black sauce to make a dough, and fill this dough with the meat mixture. On Terra, these are called "ravioli". Now put the ravioli in a basket, immerse them in the hot oil; cook the oil until bubbling-hot-- the ravioli are ready. Bon Appétit!

Remarks

The only special characters are n-tilde and c-cedilla, which usually show up okay. If not, let me know, or you can check in the dictionary http://cinduworld.tripod.com/anakrangota.htm. There are some loanwords from Terran languages; apparently it was written by a/the Kash resident here. :-)
