⏱ — min. Serves: —

Ingredients

  • 2 cups maize flour (corn flour) or millet flour
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for added smoothness)

Instructions

Prepare the Mixture

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.

Gradually add the maize flour or millet flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Cook the Toh

Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pot. This should take about 10-15 minutes.

If using, add salt and vegetable oil for flavor and smoothness.

Knead and Smooth

Remove the pot from the heat and let the toh cool slightly.

Once it’s cool enough to handle, knead it with a wooden spoon or spatula to make it smooth and pliable.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
