EASY HOMEMADE BANKU MIX RECIPE

Banku traditionally is made with fermented milled Corn and Cassava dough. The mixture is then cooked and steamed into a pliable dumpling texture.

Banku is enjoyed with Okro soup, Spicy Salsa, Stew and Groundnut soup.

This is an innovative recipe where the extracted starch from Cassava/ Yuca/ Manioc is used in place of the fermented Cassava dough. A great substitute.

To make this recipe you’ll require the following ingredients;

500g of Corn flour

350g of Tapioca flour

450ml of cold Water

1 tablespoonful of Salt for preservation
