👨🍳 Istruzioni

Prepare the Asida: In a large pot, bring 6 cups of water to a rolling boil. Gradually whisk in the sorghum flour, a little at a time, to prevent lumps. Continue whisking vigorously as the mixture thickens.

Once a thick dough forms, reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add a tablespoon of oil or ghee towards the end and mix well.
