Ingredients

2 cups Garri (cassava flour)
4 cups Water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by bringing 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium-sized pot. Ensure the water is fully boiling before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, carefully measure 2 cups of garri and gradually add it to the boiling water while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or spatula.

Step 3

Keep stirring the mixture until the garri absorbs the water. The consistency should be smooth and lump-free. You can add a little more water if you prefer a softer texture or a little more garri if you prefer a firmer texture.

Step 4

Turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid for about 1 minute. This will allow the eba to steam and become more cohesive.

Step 5

After steaming, stir the eba again to achieve an even smoother texture.

Step 6

Transfer the low-sodium eba to a plate or into small molds for serving.

Step 7

Serve immediately with your choice of traditional soups, stews, or sauces. Enjoy your meal!
