Ingredients
- 60 grams Garri (cassava flour)
- 250 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Measure 250 milliliters of water and pour it into a medium-sized pot.
Step 2
Add 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Step 3
While waiting for the water to boil, mix 60 grams of garri with 1 tablespoon of psyllium husk in a separate bowl. This mixture will help increase the fiber content and reduce the fat in your Eba.
Step 4
Once the water starts boiling, reduce the heat to low.
Step 5
Gradually sprinkle the garri and psyllium husk mixture into the boiling water while continuously stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula to prevent lumps from forming.
Step 6
Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and reaches your desired consistency. This process should take about 5 minutes. If the Eba seems too thick, you can add a tablespoon of hot water at a time and stir to adjust the consistency to your preference.
Step 7
Once the Eba reaches a smooth and firm texture, remove it from the heat.
Step 8
Mold the Eba into a rounded shape using a wooden spatula or by using your palms with a bit of water to prevent sticking, then serve hot.
Step 9
Enjoy your low-fat Eba with your favorite soup or stew.
