Fufu recipe
- Cuisine:
Note: fufu is a staple across West Africa. Resourceful African expats have been known to use instant potato or semolina as a substitute, but the yam flour used for the real thing has quite a different taste and consistency. As Grace says, she likes her fufu 'medium ' - quite liquid and soft, whereas men prefer it more 'solid '! It comes out fluffy and yet dense, and is a great carbohydrate accompaniment to any stew or curry.
Preparation
To cook fufu, stir fufu powder (cassava, plantain, cocoyam or other kind of yam flour) into a saucepan containing about 4 cups of warm water.
Stir vigorously over a gentle heat to avoid the paste sticking or forming lumps.
When it has formed into a thick, smooth paste, scoop into a bowl moistened with lukewarm water and mould into a big ball or individual balls, and serve with a sauce or soup of your choice.

Hot Tips
Zest
When removing the zest from an orange or a lemon, be sure to avoid as much of the pith (the white part) as possible. This is very bitter and will detract from the taste.

Black Peppercorns
The precursor to the chilli in Asia before their introduction by Columbus, black peppercorns are the dried unripe berries of the pepper plant and are essential to Sri Lankan cuisine.
