Introduction
Hi friends, i remain my humble self
@dave-hanny and I am proudly a Nigerian.Thank you all for your presence in my blog presently, I really appreciate the warm visit and i want to thank also the steem4nigeria community for bringing such an interesting topic, i am very glad to share on one of the peculiar recipe in my country which is made from corn and it is popularly known as Massa. Keep on reading as we roll together to know more about what I am eager to share.
I am a Nigerian. Nigeria is one of the west African countries and is the only country tagged " the giants of the whole Africa" every thing done in my country is unique and special.We eat nourishing foods that makes us look giant as anything in every part.For someone to be giant, the person needs Carbonhydrates which is one of the classes of food.The recipe I want to write about is more of carbohydrate.Carbohydrate gives or provides energy to the body system for most stressing and hard works.
Question
What is that special recipe peculiar to your country?
In my country Nigeria, we have somany peculiar recipes. Nigeria is a combonation of different ways of life of people which is culture.What I meant Is that, in some part of my country Nigeria, example eastern part of Nigeria cannot eat some foods in especiallly the northern part of Nigeria and reason being that, they are not adopted to such foods and verse versa but Massa is what almost all Nigeria citizen knows and loves eating because in most wedding or occassion, is been served for invitees.
One of the special and peculiar recipe in my country Nigeria I want to share with steemians is what is called Massa.
Massa is consumable. It is a type of food that is mostly found in the northern part of Nigeria. Massa is been processed in different ways depending on what you want as the end product. Before the end of my post, I believe you will find it interesting to make it yourself.
Massa is one of the classic delicacy Nigerian loves eating.
Question
Do you think you can do without taking them for some time?
Yes! I can do without taking Massa for some time because in Nigeria, we have different varieties of food and at any time i might have a different appetite for a different delicacy. Massa looks white and fresh made up of sugar(low), is sweet and soft while eating. Some would definitely love eating the corn cake which is called massa whenever it is ready for consumption but for persons like myself, I eat massa once a while and I said earlier that, there are somany recipes for consumption and in a nutshell, it means my country is full of variety of foods and i love eating Massa.
Question
How is massa been prepared?
Massa processing has less stress compare to other snacks such as cake itself.Below, are the steps, follow it carefully as you learn from my recipe.
These are the items to be used
The measurements depends on the quantity you want.
- Maize(corn)
- Rice
- sugar
- onion
- Baking powder
- pepper
- Vegetable oil.
- Salt(for hidden taste)
- Grinded paper.
Step one
Soak the corn and the rice for an hour. Wash separately.
Step two
Cook the maize for an hour to be completely softened.
Step three
The next is the grinding.Mix the maize and rice then grind. I grinded in a commercial engine.
Step four
At this point, we mix all the necessary things that is, the salt, sugar, baking powder, onion and pepper.After which, mix well for the sugar and to get dissolved.
Step five
Place the toasting pan on the fire, here, we use little quantity of oil to heat for some seconds.
Put gently into every hole with oil and allow it fry for a while.
After some seconds using a small spoon,gently turn and allow it frying well.
Lastly, ready for consumption with the grinded pepper besides.
In the northern part of Nigeria, we eat massa with either grinded pepper or fried grinded peanut mixed with pepper.
My recommendations for steemians about massa.
My recommendation goes to my friends and fellow steemians that, they should try this, follow the steps and try it for your family.I belief you will enjoy and attest to it.It is very sweet, soft and yummy.

I though masa was actually a drink and then I remembered am from Ghana and you are a Nigerian.
Down here in Ghana masa is a drink that people love generally. But would definitely love to try yours and see how it tastes.
