Ingredients for Cocoyam Fufu

You only need three ingredients:

2 medium heads of cocoyam
1 cup of cassava flour
½ cup of water
More water to cook it.

Notes on ingredients:

Traditionally, the head of cocoyams is used for Cocoyam Fufu, but if you can't buy it where you live, you can use cocoyam corms.
Cassava flour serves as a binder for cocoyam fufu. Cocoyams are soft and sticky when cooked and mashed on their own, they need a binder so they can be shaped.

Instructions for making Cocoyam Fufu

Peel, rinse and cut the cocoyams into medium cubes.
Put in a pot, pour water to cover the pieces of cocoyam and start cooking over medium heat.
While it cooks, mix the yuca flour with half a cup of water until you get a pliable mixture.
Shape into balls and reserve. Look the following video.
After 10 minutes of cooking the cocoyams, add the yuca flour balls and continue cooking for another 10 minutes or until you can easily stick a knife into the cocoyam pieces.
Remove from the stove and mash the cocoyams and yucca in a mortar until you get a smooth ball of dough. You can also try using a blender to mix it up but don't add any water.

Cocoyam Fufu is best served immediately after preparation because it becomes soft and loses its elasticity over time. Serve with your favorite Nigerian soup. Click here to see all Nigerian Soups.
