4 Reasons why Garri is Bae
Garri
is a popular West-African food processed from cassava tubers. It is
considered a ‘life-saving’ food by many and is versatile enough to be
prepared into a variety of meals. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 4 varieties of sumptuous dishes garri can be made into.
Garri and Groundnut (peanuts)
This
is one of the most popular Garri combinations in existence. Water (cold
or warm) is added to a specific quantity of Garri and mixed with the
desired amount of groundnuts (peanuts). Sugar or milk or both is added
to the mixture for extra flavor and more sweetness. Another way of
eating this combination is to simply chew the Garri grains (because it
is roasted processed cassava) with groundnuts (peanuts), coconuts or
palm nuts, without adding water. If you choose to, you can add some
powdered milk to the mix and enjoy.
Eba
Eba
is a classic dish, known to be a highly appetite-soothing dish. This
popular staple food is often eaten with richly made soups and stews, and
is basically cooked by adding hot water to a reasonable quantity of
Garri in a container, then using a wooden stirrer (also called Omorogun)
to stir the contents of the container until you have a homogenous mix.
Garri Cake
Howbeit
fairly unpopular, this is a sumptuous and easy to prepare dish with
lots of milky deliciousness to enjoy. The cake is made by combining dry
Garri with little water, then incorporating butter and sugar to the mix
to form a cake-like structure. A mixture of butter, sugar and milk is
used as the icing. The cake is more like a cookie cake than a sponge
cake. The cake is dense due to the nature of the Garri, but delicious
all the same. If you are not adventurous enough to try this cake with
garri, you can substitute the garri for cassava flour.
Garri Jollof
This
is a delicious mix of beef, vegetable sauce with grated stir fried
cassava. Here the Garri is basically mixed with very little cold water
is fluffed with a fork before being added hot sauce (comprising of dried
pepper, tomato paste (or ground tomatoes, fresh pepper and onion),
curry, diced carrots, spring onions, corned beef (optional), seasoning
cubes and salt) until a perfect mix (that is, not too much or too little
Garri in the sauce) is achieved.
