She went to an African store and bought tubers of cassava, which she peeled and turned into a paste using her electric blender.
Making yellow garri in the UK
Benny drained water from the cassava paste by placing her wooden mortar on it after pouring it into a sack. The next day, she sieved it, added palm oil and fried it using a pan placed on a gas cooker.
Benny's husband was pleased when he came into the kitchen and saw what his wife was doing.
Although she said garri could be cheap in the UK, she derived pleasure in preparing her own to remember her roots.
