Turn down heat and cover again. Simmer for 20 minutes or until soft. Mix the 6 tablespoons of flour with the 6 tablespoons of water until it's smooth (and an extra tablespoon or so of curry if you like). Then add this slurry straight into the pot. Turn the heat up to medium and stir until thickened. Season well with salt and pepper to taste.

AUNTIE LUCI'S PANIKEKE LAPOTOPOTO (SAMOAN/TONGAN ROUND PANCAKES) RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Heat up your oil over medium heat, then as soon as it starts to get shimmery, turn the heat down low. If you have anything as fancy as a thermometer in your kitchen, heat the oil to somewhere between 320°F and 356°F (160°C to 180°C). Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Add the egg and milk, then mix everything up with enough water to form a thick batter like a wet dough. Fry tablespoonfuls in the oil for 3-5 minutes until they're dark golden brown. If your oil is too high, the panikeke will be uncooked on the inside. If your oil is too low you'll have greasy panikeke. So every couple of batches, break one open to make sure it's cooked through.
