African Fufu Recipe

African fufu has become a trending dish on socialmedia. I had to give this recipe a try.

African Fufu Recipe Video Uploaded on Vidyascooking Youtube Shorts

African Fufu Ingredients:

500 Grams Fresh Tapioca

1/4 Tsp Salt

How and When to buy tapioca?

Best season to purchase tapioca is from october till January. Tapioca has a woody outer skin and a bark, while purchasing always make sure the bark is in reddish brown or pink in color. Tapioca must be hard and firm not soft. 

Never buy tapioca with dark spots it will be woody and is very old. I normally ask the vegetable vendor to chop the tapioca in half to inspect the inner core if it has green or dark spots. The woody peel or outer peel must be flaky and easy to inspect the inner bark. 

How to Store and Clean Tapioca?

When in season buy tapioca as fresh as possible. Best way to store tapioca is steam cooked and refrigerated or bagged and frozen till use. I normally purchase in bulk and store at least a kilo frozen.

Best method to clean tapioca is to wash it thrice and soak it in water for 30 minutes to an hour. The outer peel will be easy to peel and the bark will burst in few spots making it easy for us to peel. We need a knife and a tub of fresh water before we start peeling the tapioca.

Inspect the tapioca once its soaked in water, check if the outer bark is visible and score the bark. Try peeling the bark using your thumb while holding the root firm, it is easy to peel. If the tapioca is very fibrous the bark will be tough to peel just peel and discard the fiber portion entirely its not edible.

Once the tapioca is peeled wash twice in water and soak for 15 minutes in fresh tub of water to eliminate excess starch. By soaking tapioca it also softens and is easy to chop in desired cubes.

Add the chopped cubes to a mixerjar and grind to form a coarse paste, gradually add water and grind to form a smooth paste.

Transfer the smooth paste to a large nonstick pan along with 1 cup water on medium to low flame keep stirring. add salt as per taste.

Once lumps start to form stir well add 1 more cup water cover and cook the tapioca.

On high flame stir well and cook the tapioca till it starts to thicken, keep stirring until the tapioca starts to form a ball consistency. Remove from flame and serve hot with curry of choice...Enjoy!
