Making Fufu Without Pounding: Check Out This Alternative Method | WATCH

African morsel-lovers aka swallow-lovers, do you know Fufu can be made without the stress of pounding?

For those who may not know, Fufu is a popular pounded meal in West Africa. The term “Fufu” is a Twi word that originates from the Akans in Ghana meaning “mash/pounded meal”. Though the initially known ingredient for fufu is cassava; plantains, rice, cocoyam and more have been used in modern fufu preparation. It is also made in different ways across West African countries.
