How to make garri from cassava at home

Garri is made from raw cassava (Cassava Flour). Cassava is a starch-rich tuber crop that may be processed in a number of ways to yield an edible final product.

The following methods are required to make Garri from cassava tubers at home, specifically for your eba and snack with fried groundnut seeds:

1.  Ask where you can obtain cassava tubers at any market near you, and that is the start of the procedure.
2. Peel the skin off the cassava tubers first. Make every effort to avoid peeling too deeply.
3. Wash the peeled tubers second. Because this is the only time you'll be washing the tubers, use a lot of water.
4. Third, chop the tubers into medium-sized pieces so that they may be ground evenly.
5. The fourth and most crucial step is to mill them on a grinding machine (typically a very large one). However, if the cassava tubers are small enough, you may easily shred them at home.
6. The cassava paste is then placed in a sack and allowed to dry for 2-3 days (fermentation occurs at this stage).
7. The fine cassava powder should then be separated from the other particles using a large sieve.
8. After that, stir fry a reasonable amount of cassava powder in a thick frying pan until it gets very dry and brittle. If you want your gari to be yellow, add a few drops of red palm oil every now and again.

Lastly, set your gari in a dry, cool location and enjoy your dinner.
