What Makes Banku Special
Banku is a staple of Ghanaian cuisine — cooked in hot water until it turns into a smooth, whitish paste, traditionally served with okra stew, soup, or a pepper sauce with fish. It o Wikipediariginates from the Ga-Dangme people of southern Ghana and is beloved across every region of the country.
Fermenting can enhance the nutritional profile of ingredients — the fermentation of cassava and corn helps break down indigestible fibres as well as sugars, making more nutrients available and beginning the digestion process.

How to Prepare
Add the Comas Banku Mix powder to a pot with enough water to create a smooth, lump-free paste — stir well before heating
Place on medium heat, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or sturdy ladle
Keep stirring and “driving” the banku as it thickens — this is the key step that gives it its smooth, cohesive texture
Add salt to taste, cook until the banku pulls cleanly away from the sides of the pot — about 15–20 minutes
Scoop into portions, shape into smooth balls using a wet bowl or damp hands, and serve hot
Tip: The banku firms up as it cools, so cook on the slightly softer side if not serving immediately.
