EN: Kneaded; mashed with hands
What you do to dough before it becomes pandesal. It's also what you do to ampalaya with salt to get the bitterness out. It's a very hands-on, slightly aggressive way of mixing or prepping food. Think of it as a firm, purposeful massage, but for ingredients.
From 'lamas' (to knead, to mash) with the infix '-in-'.
Distinct from 'minasa' (which is specific to kneading dough), 'nilamas' is more general and can apply to vegetables, fruits, or other masses.
