Funge

This is the typical side dish to accompany the angolan dish Muamba de Galinha, although you can eat it as a side dish, in fact it is a dish on its own, it is the only way of feeding for many angolan families.

It can be made from corn or cassava flour.

Ingredients:

• 250 grams corn or cassava flour.
• 1 liter water.
• Salt to taste.

Method:

Pour a liter of water in a casserole and bring it to a boil. Meanwhile take another casserole with a litle warm water in it, add a litle quantity of flour and stir until the flour is well disolved.

Once the water in the casserole is boiling add the disolved flour and stir.

Step by step add the rest of the flour, stirring continously to avoid lumps. The moment the mixture looks like mashed potatoes, keep cooking and stirring five more minutes to finish the dish.

To reach the desired consistency , place the mixture in a bowl with a little water at the bottom, cover with a wet plate. Keep the dough like that for 10 minutes.

To serve use a wet spoon so that the dough does not stick to it.

My Comments:

This is a different way to eat carbohydrates. In Angola they eat it without salt ,but it is far more tasty when you add salt.
It is soft and goes very well with Muamba de Galinha.
