Instructions
- Mix together the corn and cassava dough with water until smooth, then transfer to high heat and stir continuously.
- Depending on how moist the processed dough was at the start, more water may be added so far as the consistency is solid, but not too firm.
- Turn the heat down to medium and allow the banku to steam in the pot, surrounded by 1 or 2 tablespoons of water. This should take 5 minutes.
- Give the banku one final stir then take off the heat.
- To serve, scoop the desired amount into a wet bowl and swirl around until balls are formed.
- Banku may be served with okro stew, fante fante or grilled tilapia with shito.
