To cook apapransa, you can follow the traditional way of making palm nut soup using palm fruit extract, although, you could make it your preferred way with onions, tomatoes, pepper, ginger, garlic, and what meat (fish or assorted meat) you are cooking with. After seasoning the soup with salt and seasoning cubes, allow it to simmer until the meat is done. Afterward, pour in the roasted corn flour into the soup and whisk it until it is even as lumps are formed.
This happens because the corn flour blooms when added into the soup liquid since it is a dry product, and the soup is hot which provides heat to warm it up. The soup will continue to become thicker as the corn flour begins to absorb the soup. The paste will become thick but still smooth when it has been sufficiently whisked and you are happy with the consistency but do not stop whisking also allow it to become thicker or less soupy.
