Kokonte is a traditional Ghanaian dish made from dried cassava flour, a staple food particularly beloved in the Northern Region, whose preparation and consumption bring families together and reinforce cultural identity. Ghanaian Foods

The Ingredient

100% Dried Cassava Flour — produced by cooking, drying and grinding the root of the cassava plant into a fine powder. Olasfoodsmarket Cassava is one of West Africa’s most important staple crops, naturally rich in carbohydrates, dietary fibre, and energy-sustaining complex starches. The drying process gives kokonte flour its characteristic deep, earthy flavour and the distinctive light-to-dark brown colour that sets it apart from fufu and banku.

How to Prepare Kokonte

1. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan — use approximately 2 cups of water per 1 cup of flour
2. Gradually add the Meannan Cassava Flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps
3. Reduce to medium heat and keep stirring for 5–10 minutes as the mixture thickens into a smooth, cohesive dough
4. If it becomes too thick, add a little more water one tablespoon at a time and keep stirring
5. Once smooth and pulling away from the sides of the pot, scoop into portions, shape, and serve hot

Tip: Stir continuously from the moment the flour hits the water — this is the key to a smooth, lump-free kokonte every time.
