I want to believe that like fufu a.k.a akpu,it should be made from the plantain flesh (inner "pulp" just like iyan and not from the skin (the outer covering) like in amala, yeah? Anyways wen me see am someday me must sample am as lover of good food.

lol i dont have any pic
the one i know of is called "futu" ie plaintain and cassava.plantian and cassava is peeled,sliced and boiled till its soft and pounded together. i guess is popular in ghana and Civ.One funny thing abt it is that it has to be prepared by both hubby and wife,the woman sits and turns the "fufu/futu" in the mortar while the hubby stands and pounds.division of labour.lol

joker knows what am talking 'bout

ok, i see. actually what you call plantain fufu is actually plaintain amala. it is amala made from grounded sliced plaintain chips. its just lik d way yam ,cassava is dried and grounded to powder form, that how the plaintain (unripe) is sliced into chips,throughly dried then grinded into powder. u get some water heated in a pot ,wen its boiling, u pour some quantity of plantain powder into it and stir, continue adding the plaintain powder and stiring till you get d consistency you desire. what i know is that it is better than that of yam and cassava and as such, is more expensive in the market. afterall we know the price of a full bunch of plantain.

Plantain Fufu is eaten just like any other starch/ fufu type food I reckon?

I did try it but I can sort of get that unripe plantain taste of it very slightly and that actually put me off my soup. Good texture though.

nice

Ummm. . . . .never had it before but i now have the recipe, will try it soonest too,

My tribe's staple food is kimanga- A mixture of:
Pounded plantain and beans
Pounded yam and beans
Pounded cassava and beans, e.t.c
This is topped up with meat stew and milk tea. However, I love the plantain kimanga better
Gawd, I can even try the plantain fufu. . .

y'all are just luvin beans in Kenya. maybe i should move there

@topic
we stopped eating yam flour the moment we discovered plantain flour. i prepare it the way i normally make amala but it comes out lumpy at times. i wonder what i'm not doing right

plantain fufu

noting do you

I like Plaintain Fufu. I get it in the powerdered form (blended plaintain and not the skin) and prepare like you would amala. Its called Instant Fufu. You can eat with any type of soup like okra or any vegetable soup.

I hate it.

wont that be too much sugar?
