Kokonte is a traditional Ghanaian dish made from dried cassava flour. It is often consumed with groundnut soup, palm nut soup, or light soup.
Ingredients
-3 cups of dried cassava flour (also known as kokonte flour)
-5-6 cups of water (adjust as needed)
Preparation
-Place a pot on a low medium heat and cover to boil for 20 minutes
-Mix cassava flour and water and stir thoroughly with a wooden spatula to create a smooth, lump-free mixture. (Stirring is crucial to prevent lumps from forming and to ensure even cooking)
– Continue to stir till it turns into a thick paste gradually (The kokonte will start to pull together and form a smooth, elastic dough)
-Cook on low heat and cover for some time and knead dough in the pot for about 15–20 minutes.
-Scoop and shape portions of the kokonte in a bowl.
-Serve with soup
