ReplyDeleteDry gari!? We wud soak the gari, drain all d water and let it sit for like 3 minutes (turns out like cous-cous) before adding the other ingredients. You cud add chopped tomatoes and lettuce leaves.
ReplyDeleteYou did not wet your garri with water. The kwado wont be moist. It will be quite dry.
ReplyDeleteFor those two cups of garri, at least moisten it with one-quarter to half a cup of water so that:
1) the ingredients mix well
2) the garri absorbs the water and softens
3) you don't end up sipping and sipping water while eating
4) you don't end up frustrated in the loo because your poop is like a rock.
Kwado na'a fachi ike...Translation in broken English: Kwado dey block nyash ...ldtmb!

ReplyDeleteEbange or ebansar. Though their preparion differ from kwado
ReplyDeleteWet your garri, strain the water, if still moist, allow it to air and spread it. It should be like cous cous
ReplyDeleteAdd your ingredients. Remove that atarodo.
