Prepare the konkonte: In a pot, bring about 1 liter of water to a boil. Gradually add cassava flour while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to form a thick, smooth dough. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring and mashing to ensure it's well-cooked and lump-free. Add more hot water if needed to reach desired consistency. Cover and let it steam for a few minutes.
