Funge

Funge or fúngi (Angola) or mfundi (Congo - DCR and the Congo Republic) is a traditional African swallow made of cassava flour whisked into boiling water.

[1] Funge is eaten with the fingers, and a small ball of it can be dipped into an accompanying stew, side dish or sauce.

In the Lesser Antilles, a similar food is known as fungi or cou-cou.

To make banku the fermented mixture is cooked in a pot, but the variation called kenkey is only partially cooked before it is wrapped in banana leaves or corn husks and steamed.

In Brazilian cuisine, a similar dish made with cassava flour and fish stock is known as pirão.
