Step 1
Begin by peeling the cassava. Once done, cut the tuber in half, lengthwise.
Step 2
Get rid of the wooden core present inside and cut the cassava into small cubes.
Step 3
Next, take the plantain and peel it. Cut it into small cubes.
Step 4
It’s time to take a blender and throw the diced cassava and plantain cubes in it. Allow the ingredients to blend until you obtain a smooth batter.
Step 5
Now, take a pot and transfer the prepared batter into it.
Step 6
Next, place the pot on the stovetop and allow the batter to cook over a medium flame. It’s important to keep stirring until you obtain a thick, doughy fufu.
Step 7
Pour a little bit of water in the pot and let the mixture cook on a low to medium flame. Make sure you cover the pot. This should take you about 5 minutes.
Step 8
You can let the mixture cook a little longer if the fufu seems uncooked after 5 minutes. However, remember to stir well.
Step 9
Once done, separate the fufu into different sizes and cover each piece with plastic wrap, and you are done.
Step 10
Serve with a soup or stew of your preference.
Step 11
For the microwave method, begin by taking a microwave-safe bowl and adding the batter into it. Place a microwave-safe lid on top.
Step 12
Keep the bowl in the microwave for about 5 minutes.
Step 13
Make sure you stir properly until a smooth paste is obtained.
Step 14
Add a little bit of water and place the bowl inside the microwave again to allow it to cook completely. This should take you about 5 to 8 minutes.
Step 15
After 8 minutes, mix the dough again and separate it into different sizes. Cover each piece with plastic wrap, and there you have it. Your fufu is ready to be consumed.
