Step 6

Remove the lid and spoon out any excess oil pooling around the sides of the pan. Run the rubber spatula around the edges of the pan to make sure the kuku isn’t sticking, then place a plate large enough to cover the entire pan on top. Flip the kuku onto the plate so the cooked side is face-up. Add more olive oil to the pan, then slide the kuku back in. Increase the heat to medium, cover, and cook until the bottom of the kuku is golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan.
