Banku and okro stew are one of my favourite meals. Banku goes with all soup, stew and sauce but we all know its original accompany meal, okro soup. Also, Banku is a Ghanaian dish. Which is cooked by a proportionate mixture of fermented corn and cassava dough.
Usually, it is prepared in hot water into a smooth, whitish paste, served with soup, stew or a pepper sauce with fish.

HOW TO PREPARE BANKU

First, wash your hands well. Mix the corn and cassava dough by mashing it with your hands.

Add a glass of water and mix it till there are no lumps.

Put it on fire and stir continuously with a wooden spoon, you will need more force to stir when it is getting thick. Use a napkin or cloth to hold the pot and knead it. Add another cup of water, add salt and turn it often.

When the water is down reduce the heat and knead the banku.

Do this for about 4 minutes. Repeat this process till its well cooked. Turn it a few times. Use a small bowl to shape the banku into preferred serving size.

Serve your banku with the okro stew.
