Agbeli Kaklo

• Agbeli Kaklo

Agbelikaklo is a Ghanaian snack made from cassava and eaten by the locals. The snack originated from the southern part of the Volta Region. It is very crunchy and mostly eaten with hard coconut(Copra).

• 1 large cassava

• 1 large onion

• Oil

• Salt

Instructions

• Peel the cassava.

• Once peeled leave it to soak overnight in water or you can proceed to grate the cassava. (Remember to remove the inedible string in the middle).

• Grate cassava into a bowl, getting the product as fine as your grater allows but not too fine.

• Squeeze out as much of the moisture as possible.

• Once the water is drained, sieve the dough using an ‘agbadze’ (like a winnowing basket but larger gaps) but a sieve with larger holes than usual will do.

• Season the sifted cassava with salt and onion.

• Form medium-sized balls from the cassava flakes. Don’t make balls too tight.

• Heat oil over medium-high heat until hot, place the balls into the oil.

• Fry them until they are golden brown for about seven minutes.

• Place fried kaklo on tissue paper or colander to drain oil. Serve with copra or you can eat alone.
