How banku is prepared

Banku is often made by cooking fermented corn dough, usually mixed with cassava dough, in water. A small amount of corn or potato starch is typically added during cooking to achieve a smooth texture. The mixture requires continuous stirring until it thickens.

Three to four parts of corn dough are often mixed with one part of cassava dough, but the ratio may vary. The cooked banku may initially seem soft but firm up as it cools. Once ready, it is traditionally shaped into balls by hand, using cold water to prevent sticking.
