THE AMAZING WEST AFRICAN PUDDING RECIPE - GLUTEN FREE

During one of our conversations about life, Mum revealed her favourite childhood pudding that her Dad (Grandpa) made for the family particularly after they returned from the farm. 

I was intrigued because that was the first time of hearing of it and moreover from her description it meant I had to taste this.

I quickly got the 3 main ingredients required for the recipe and made it on a day that Mum and I were hosting family members from Togo.

The stories and fondness associated with this pudding meant I had to share this recipe. 

A must try recipe! It’s now my favourite pudding and guess what I made another version coming up next.
