How to make Cassava Fufu in a Blender

Cassava Fufu is the most traditional Nigerian fufu meal.. For how to make Cassava Fufu in a blender, keep reading.

Please note that the Cassava Fufu detailed on this page does NOT smell and you do NOT need to pound it in a mortar. Can we really call it Cassava Fufu? The jury is out on that. LOL.

Ingredients

Cassava tubers (Yuca)

Water (for blending)

Notes on the ingredients:

Cassava tubers (Yuca) are cultivated in Africa and South America. They can be purchased from African food shops all over the world.

Water is used for blending the cassava tubers and when separating the cassava fufu from the cassava starch.

Utensils nd Appliances

Blender: any blender with at 500W is ok for this.

Big bowls (see video below)

Chiffon cloth for sieving

Cup

Cooking pot

Wooden spatula

See the video below for other utensils I may have forgotton to mention.

Directions for Extracting the Cassava Fufu

Peel the cassava tuber following the natural peel (see video below).

Rinse thoroughly and cut into small pieces or grate it.

Put in a blender and blend into a smooth puree with cool water.

Sieve with a chiffon cloth to remove the very fine cassava starch. Rinse with clean water as you sieve till all the starch has been washed off the chaff.

The chaff left in the chiffon cloth is your no-smell Cassava Fufu. The one that passed through the chiffon cloth into the bowl is the Delta Starch which is used to make another swallow meal. Click here for the recipe.

Directions for Making the Cassava Fufu Meal

Put the Cassava Fufu in a clean dry pot and set on the stove.

Turn on the heat to medium and start stirring with a wooden spatula till it heats up.

Keep adding drops of water bit by bit and keep stirring till the Cassava Fufu changes from pure white to off white.

Add a few more drops of water, cover the pot and leave it to heat up.

Once it steams up again all over, mix well with the wooden spatula till smooth.

That's it!

Serve with any Nigerian Soup except pepper soups. Pepper Soups are too watery for Nigerian fufu meals.

Crispy Baked Onion Rings

Healthy, crispy baked onion rings that are so addictively good and super easy to make! With all of the experimenting that I have been doing with crispy baked vegetable fries lately, such as the eggplant parmesan fries and the portobello mushroom fries , I cannot believe that I did not think of using one of the most obvious vegetables, onions! I mean onion rings are so addictively good and they are the one upgrade that I pretty much always take if it is available when ordering out. My initial thought was to take the same recipe that I had been using for the other vegetables, where I dredge them in flour, dip them in egg and then coat them in panko bread crumbs, and although it worked and they tasted great, it was not all that easy to coat both the insides and outsides of the onion rings with just two eggs!  I am all about easy recipes and the first recipe was just not easy enough so I put my thinking cap on and eventually I found myself thinking about fish and chips where the fish i...

20 Minute Light Lemon Chicken

A quick and easy, light and healthy Chinese style lemon chicken that’s just packed with flavour! The Chinese New Year, or the Lunar New Year, is tomorrow and I have been thinking about one of my favourite Chinese takeout dishes, lemon chicken. Normally this dish consists of crispy breaded chicken pieces in a thick, sweet, lemon sauce that can be served over rice. This is a quick and easy version of that classic dish that’s skips the coating and the frying in oil and instead simply sautés the chicken is a little oil.  The lemon sauce ingredients are all mixed together before adding to the pan, so this recipe is as easy as cooking the chicken, adding the sauce and cooking until the sauce thickens! Often lemon chicken is a little too sweet for my tastes so this version uses less sweetener, I like honey but sugar also works well, which creates a pleasant balance of sweet, sour and salty! This lemon chicken comes together in less than 20 minutes so you can steam rice while making it for...

How To Cook Fresh and tasty okro soup, okra soup

Okro soup, Okra soup, Lady’s finger or gumbo, this soup by any name will taste mouthwateringly delicious. It is mucilaginous (slimy in a good way), cheap and is cooked across the length and breadth of Nigeria, from the north where dried okro is used, to the south where it is used fresh. Therefore, it can be called one of Nigeria’s national dishes. My son no. 3 could eat okro soup 3 times a day when he was a toddler, now a young boy, he will always ask for okro soup or the ‘brother’ of okro aka ogbono soup, meanwhile, son no. 2 will neither touch it nor its ‘brother’ with a 10-foot pole. A case of one man’s meat being another man’s poison. It is easy to eat and tastes fresh. If cooked right looks very appetizing. The methods of preparation vary, sometimes even within the same community, some fry their okro, others just add it raw to their soup broth. It can also be cooked separately and served with Nigerian tomato stew see my Ila (Plain Okro Soup). Another difference is in the way the o...
