ReplyDeleteJust put water in a pot! Let it boil n add the shinkafa( that's unmilled rice) its sold in the market n called local rice! When d rice is very soft, n d water is dry! U start turning it! Just like amala! Den use ur kwariya (calabash) to serve.

ReplyDeleteDeborah Hi,
ReplyDeleteI love waina can you give me a recipe to make it at home without that special pot with holes. will very much appreciate it.

DeleteSorry am coming in late,bout d waina issue @anonymous11:22am,u can use non stick fryn pan 2 make it,we cal dt 1 sinasir n is same procedure wt waina bt wtout d shapes bt same great taste.
ReplyDeleteHi debora, can we use bottled roasted groundnt? Secondly, can we use shoko leaves if we don't get yakowa? Thirdly can we use normal onions instead of spring onions? Lastly must we use garlic? For those of us hu hates garlic. Pls resply, thanx
ReplyDelete****Mufasa Said
Jamb Qs @Mufasa. Anywayz yakowa is d best option cos of it sour taste. D G-nut has to be raw bt dry.D garlic n spring onions r optional
DeleteU can use bottled groundnut! I don't know shoko leaves but u can use spinach
ReplyDeletePls I'll only make one request. That we all keep this blog void of any barbaric word biko nu. Don't turn this beautiful family to a battle ground. Thanks
