Fufu | FoodieAtlas

Ingredients

2 cups cassava flour (or yuca flour)
4 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plantain flour (optional, for added texture)
1 tablespoon palm oil or vegetable oil (optional, for added flavor)

Instructions

Prepare the Water

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

Add Cassava Flour

Gradually add the cassava flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps. If using plantain flour, add it at this stage.

Cook the Mixture

Reduce the heat to low. Continue to stir the mixture until it thickens and becomes smooth. This should take about 10-15 minutes. The consistency should be thick and stretchy.

Add Optional Ingredients

If desired, stir in palm oil or vegetable oil for added flavor.

Finish and Serve

Remove the pot from heat and let the Fufu sit for a few minutes to set.

Use a wooden spoon to transfer the Fufu to a serving dish. It should be smooth and pliable.
