Hausa Koko Recipe By Ndudu Fafa
Hausa Koko is a popular Ghanaian porridge made from millet and spices. Bofrot is sort of like a Ghanaian doughnut. Nigerians have a similar doughnut called Puff Puff. The Hausa people, although they are found in a diverse number of countries extending from Sudan to Nigeria, have had a great influence on the food culture of West African street foods.
This is a popular street food often eaten for breakfast. It is known as Hausa Koko, a soured and spicy smooth porridge. The sourness, resulting from fermenting the millet, may be an acquired taste. However, after trying a few regional African cuisines, you will find that fermented products are used quite regularly.
