Fufu corn and Khati Khati

Steps to Cook Fufu Corn, Njama-Njama, and Khati-Khati

1. Khati-Khati (Traditional Roasted Chicken)

This protein-rich dish is the smoky centerpiece of the meal.

• Roast a local chicken over an open flame until the skin is golden and smoky.

• Tear the chicken into pieces and sauté them in unrefined palm oil.

• Season simply with salt and crushed hot peppers to enhance the natural flavor.

2. Njama-Njama (Huckleberry Leaves)

A quick vegetable stir-fry that provides a fresh balance to the starch.

• Boil the huckleberry leaves until they are tender and then drain them thoroughly.

• Sauté the leaves in palm oil with sliced onions and a pinch of salt.

• Stir-fry briefly to keep the vegetables vibrant and full of nutrients.

3. Fufu Corn

The smooth, heavy starch that completes the traditional Nso plate.

• Whisk fine corn flour into boiling water to create a thick, consistent paste.

• Stir the dough vigorously with a wooden spatula to ensure it is completely lump-free.

• Allow the fufu to steam on low heat until it is fully cooked and firm
