English | English A woman, Kambanpi, is putting a frying-pan on top of a fire which is made in a big earthen stove; two earthen dishes serve as rest for the pan. After heating the pan for a longer while Kambanpi is pouring moist sago starch onto it giving the cake an oval shape by using a part of a coconut shell. The pancake is fried on both sides, shortly dipped into water and then eaten together with the meat of a coconut or with smoked fish. Six pancakes are put aside as food for one day in a small sago basket. Kambanpi is then putting a lumb of sago directly into the fire; it is turned several times with a bamboo pincer. After getting cool the burnt outside of the lump is taken off, and Kambanpi is eating the sago. |
