🧂 재료

250 g Chikanda tubers(pounded into a fine powder)
500 g Groundnuts (peanuts)(pounded or ground into a paste)
2 tbsp Bicarbonate of soda
1 medium Onion(finely diced)
1 liter Water
1 tsp Salt(or to taste)
1 tsp Chilli(fresh, finely chopped (optional))

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the groundnut paste and stir until it forms a smooth mixture.
2
Add the diced onion, salt, and bicarbonate of soda to the pot. Stir continuously for about 15 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken and bubble.
3
Gradually sprinkle in the pounded chikanda tubers, a little at a time, stirring constantly to achieve a thick, cake-like consistency. Patience is key here to avoid lumps.
4
Once the desired consistency is reached, reduce the heat to low. Smooth the top of the mixture with the back of a spoon or a cooking stick. Cover the pot and let it cook on low heat for 30 minutes.
5
After 30 minutes, stir in the fresh chilli, if using. Cover again and cook for another 10 minutes.
6
To serve, carefully invert the pot onto a serving plate. The chikanda should fall out in a cake-like shape. Allow it to cool completely before slicing into portions.
