Critical Success Points

  • Initial vegetable cooking (step 5) – the vegetables must be very tender.
  • Incorporation of the peanut paste (step 9) – the consistency should be creamy, not lumpy.
  • Cooking the rice (step 11) – the rice must be perfectly cooked and fluffy.
  • Making the rice fufu (step 12) – the dough must be smooth and well compacted.

Safety Warnings

  • Be careful of boiling water splashes while mixing.
  • The blender contains very hot liquids – let them cool slightly before blending.
  • Use kitchen gloves when handling the hot pot.
