Different Ways to Prepare Cornmeal Fufu (Tuwo Masara)
There are different ways of making cornmeal fufu. You can directly add the ground corn to a pot of boiling water while stirring continuously to create a dough-like mash.
However, you can still prepare your corn fufu or tuwo masara by mixing the cornflour into a thick paste and then add it into a pot of boiling water to make a smooth dough-like mash.
