Making of Plantain Fufu
Plantain Fufu is a popular dish in West and Central African cuisine, particularly in Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon. Plantain Fufu is made from ripe or unripe plantains, boiled and pounded into a thick, starchy dough.
Here is how to prepare the Plantain Fufu..
I will be using an unripe plantain to prepare this, wash your unripe plantain gently and cut into small pieces.
After cutting, transfer the plantain into your blender, add a little water into it and blend smoothly
Stir until its comes together
Keep stirring until everything comes together
Add small hot water or cool water into it and let it steam together
Cover and cook for 10 - 15 mins
Then after 10 mins, stir together, you will see that it is done, scoop it out and enjoy it with your favorite soup🍲
Serving and Pairing
Plantain Fufu is typically served with soups or stews of your favorite such as:
- Egusi soup (melon seed soup)

But I prefer mine with Okro soup, it's yummy 😋!!
