Instructions
- Bring the water to a boil in a large pot with the salt.
- Add the sliced okra and cook for 5 minutes to soften them and release their mucilage.
- Gradually sprinkle in the cassava flour while stirring with a wooden spoon to avoid lumps.
- Lower the heat and keep stirring vigorously for 10 minutes.
- When the dough pulls away from the sides and forms a soft ball, it's ready.
- Wet a plate and shape the dough into balls or domes.
- Serve warm with a sauce or stew.
Variations and tips
Cassava leaf version. Add a few pounded cassava leaves to the okra for a more vegetal flavor and a greener fufu.
