I'm glad to be here again today. I love it when I know we can put smile on one another's face. @steemwomen club is one place I learn so many things... that's why I try my best to give the little I can for others to learn too.
Am here with this wonderful recipe on how to prepare Kunu, a sweet drink from the northern part of Nigeria.

I know some will say...is she from the North,how can she teach this perfectly? Well, I guess that what those that effected NYSC try to do...to help integrate Nigeria. It's to make us diversify our knowledge in other tribes outside ours....unity in diversity! Anyways, let's try this out as we can...

INGREDIENTS NEEDED

As shown in the picture above,we have

  • Guinea corn
  • Millet
  • Sweet potatoes (dry or fresh)
  • Ginger (dry or fresh)
  • Karinpari spice(for aroma)
  • Sweetner (sugar)

STEP BY STEP PREPARATION

Step1.

IMG_20220204_172050_1.jpg

Buy the guinea corn and Millet. Soak for 24hours ( so it can help it to be milled/grinded well). Under 24hrs, wash well and destone them. Put into a bucket then, set aside.

Step2:

Wash and cut the ginger and potatoes. Put into a separate plate. Add the karinpari spice in same plate. These will be grinded separate from the Millet and guinea corn. Take all to the mill and grind.

Step3:
When you return from the mill, set a pot of water to boil. Enough water depending on the quantity of the grinded Millet and guinea corn. Melt in a big basin/ bowl with ordinary water.

Prepare it with the hot water as you do pap. Set aside.

Step 4:
Stir the flavours (ginger, potatoes, and karinpari) you grinded...if not melted enough, add little ordinary water.

Pour it into the Prepared Millet and guinea corn...

Then cover tightly for at least 12hour for fermentation. I normally Prepare this at night around maybe 6 or 7pm so by 7am it will be ready for seiving.

Step 5:
By 12hours, you will be ready to sieve out the chaff. Get that chiffon cloth for pap. Tie on a bucket and work - sieve it.

Step 6:
Once you are done sieving....add sweetner to the liquid...

Check if it's as you want in consistency and taste. Then your kunu is ready. Fill in containers... original kunu from North I know is not thick. ..... it's just watery but tasty and no addition of any type of milk.

chill and enjoy!

Thank you for this delicious recipe. It's too bad that most of the ingredients you mentioned are not found in my region. We have such only in the three northern regions of the country🥺.
