HOW TO MAKE DELICIOUS MASA

Firstly, get 3 cups of tuwo rice in a bowl. Divide into two equal parts. Then, wash the first part and soak in a bowl with potash.

Secondly, allow soaking for 8-10 hours. It is best if you soak it overnight.

Thirdly, wash and boil the remaining part of the tuwo rice with just water when you are ready to prepare the meal.

Fourthly, boil it until it is very soft. Then, go ahead and mash it to a pulp.

Then, mix the ground rice with the mashed rice together. Add sugar and salt to taste.

After that, add a teaspoon of yeast, stir and allow frothing for 30 minutes [The batter should be running not thick]

Grease your pan with vegetable oil and scoop your batter into the pan.

Lastly, allow cooking until it is golden brown. Turn the other side with a spoon and also observe as it cooks and turns golden brown.

This is how to make Hausa Masa; you can serve with Yaji (Hausa spiced ground pepper) or miyan taushe (Nigerian pumpkin soup).

Serve as a snack or as a breakfast cake...
