    In this video, I’m sharing a popular Ghanaian staple made with fermented corn meal and cassava paste, named banku.
    The hack presented here provides a twist from the typical style, that offers convenience, opportunity to store product at room temperature without spoiling, readily available for use without waiting to thaw prior to use.
    I also pay homage to my late, dear, friend and sister Aseye Narzar, who was my high school classmate, and college roommate! The idea is entirely hers and I give her all the credit, in hopes her living mom watches this video ❤️❤️❤️ please share, like, subscribe, and turn on the notification bell 🙏🏽

      Definitely, learn something new here today. I'll be folding my banku before I store in the freezer and hopefully try the banku mix this summer 😅Thanks for sharing quality contents as always.

    Learnt a lot from this video. Drying the dough really is a great tip!
    1. Works perfectly with the Ghanaian weather.
    2. You get to save some space in the freezer
    3. With the "dumsor" 🤣 frequent power cuts, this will be a great way to store our dough for long.
