Hello wonderful friends..how are you all doing today? Today, I will sharing the process of making casava flakes, commonly known as "Garri" in Nigeria. “Garri is a West African food made from processed cassava tubers. It looks like dry flakes or granules and is used to prepare eba or soaked garri. Garri is made by grating, fermenting, and frying cassava into dry flakes. So below here gat the procedures on processing cassava flakes. Keep reading;
Before we start,there are some things you need to consider first before the process of making garri. Firstly, you should have planted your cassava and allow it to harvest during it's time. So after harvesting, these steps below will guide you through;
•Step 1: Firstly, I went to my farm and harvested the cassava and brought it home.
Step 2: Next, I began to peel the cassava, put it into a big bowl and washed it inside the bag for grinding.
Step 3: I carried it to the place for grinding. The smashed it so well and squeeze out all the water in it for better frying. Sorry, I wasn't able to snap when I grinded it.
Step 4: With the help of my seive, I used it to differentiate the waste particles from the main cassava flakes.
Step 5: I set up my fire, and frying has begun..!! I didn't allow the heat of the fire to be too much so that garri won't get burnt.
Step 6: That was how I kept on frying it to the last portion of it. Then, I got a clean nylon and poured it there for it to cool before packing them inside the bowl.
Step 7: Lastly, here's the outcome of the cassava flakes. Hope I tried?
Thank you all for your time here.. hope you were able to learn something from this post? See you next time.. All pleasure remains mine..
