HOW TO MAKE SPECIAL MASA OR WAINA RECIPE
Masa/Waina or Hausa rice cake is another one of Hausa delicious meals. We made it with what we call ‘tuwo rice’ in Northern Nigeria.
Tuwo rice is a special rice that is used particularly for tuwo shinkafa.
The good thing about tuwo rice is that it sticks together with one another, unlike the conventional rice grains that stays apart.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups of tuwo rice.
2 Table spoons of sugar.
Teaspoon of yeast.
Teaspoon of potash.
Table spoon of oil
50ml of vegetable oil
Salt to taste.
INSTRUCTION:
This is what you should do; soak a teaspoon of ground potash in half cup of water, allow to setle. Then pour into the first part in a bowl, don’t add the residue. Add more water and allow to soak for 8-10hours. It is best if you soak it overnight.
When you are ready to prepare the masa, get the second part of the tuwo rice. Wash and boil it with just water. Boil it until it is very soft. Mash it to pulp.
Mix the ground rice with the mashed rice together. Add sugar and salt to taste. Add a teaspoon of yeast, stir and allow frothing for 30 minutes. The batter should run not thick.
Grease your masa pan with vegetable oil and scoop your batter into the pan. Allow to cook until it is golden brown. Turn the other side with a spoon and also observe as it cooks and turn golden brown.
