Ingredients

• Cassava dough
• Corn dough
• Pepper
• Onion chopped
• Tomatoes chopped
• Green pepper chopped
• Eggs
• Cooking oil

 

Method

• Wash pepper, tomatoes, onions and grind in asanka. Don’t forget to add salt.
• Crack eggs in a bowl.
• Add chopped tomatoes, onions, green pepper, carrots, salt and whisk.
• Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat and spray with some oil.
• Pour egg mixture and turn over when the sides begins to brown.
• Put another saucepan on fire for the banku, add water and salt, cover to boil.
• Wash your hands and mix  and mash up the corn and cassava dough in a bowl to form a paste picking out all the lumps and fibre that are in it.
• Put the watery paste in the saucepan and stir gently until it starts to thicken.
• As it progresses, it will start to gather at the bottom of the spoon and will need more and more force to stir it. Reduce the heat. Now use a dish cloth or towel to hold the pot in place, and still with the wooden spoon, start to knead it. Do this for about 5 minutes resting intermitently.
• Add 1 cup of water and use the wooden spoon to make a few holes in the mass. Increase the fire and cover.
• Turn it a few times during this process as the mixture bowls. When the water is almost finished, turn down the heat and start kneading the banku again. Another 5 minutes should do it.
• Use a small bowl to shape the banku into your preferred serving sizes.
• Serve the banku
• Note: Some prefer to add fried rice.
