If using cassava flour, you can find it pre-ground. If using fresh cassava or yam, peel, chop, and boil it until tender. Mash it thoroughly and then proceed with the recipe.
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
Gradually add the cassava flour while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. You can use a whisk or wooden spoon for this.
Reduce the heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. This should take about 5-10 minutes.
If the mixture becomes too thick, you can add a bit more water and continue stirring until you reach the desired consistency. Fufu should be soft and pliable.
If desired, add a pinch of salt to taste and mix well.
Transfer the Fufu to a bowl and cover with a lid or cloth to keep it warm.
Enjoy your meal!
