Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Garri (cassava flour)
- 4 cups Water
Instructions
Begin by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Ensure the water is fully boiling before proceeding to the next step.
Once the water is boiling, carefully measure 2 cups of garri and gradually add it to the boiling water while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Keep stirring the mixture until the garri absorbs the water. The consistency should be smooth and lump-free. You can add a little more water if you prefer a softer texture or a little more garri if you prefer a firmer texture.
Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid for about 1 minute. This will allow the eba to steam and become more cohesive.
After steaming, stir the eba again to achieve an even smoother texture.
Transfer the low-sodium eba to a plate or into small molds for serving.
Serve immediately with your choice of traditional soups, stews, or sauces. Enjoy your meal!
