For the Kokonte: In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually add the dried cassava flour, stirring continuously with a wooden spatula to prevent lumps. Continue stirring and kneading until a thick, consistent paste forms. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Scoop into a small bowl, mold into desired sizes, and set aside.
