Toh is a beloved traditional snack in Burkina Faso, made primarily from maize or millet flour. This dish holds cultural significance as it is often enjoyed during gatherings and celebrations, symbolizing community and sharing. Typically served warm, Toh is a staple in many households across the country.
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.
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.
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 the toh hot with your favorite stews, soups, or sauces.
