Critical Success Points

  • Do not discard the cooking broth; it is essential for the sauce.
  • Blend the onion, ginger, garlic and chili mixture carefully to avoid splatters.
  • Cook the fufu until it reaches a smooth and elastic texture.

Safety Warnings

  • Palm oil heats very quickly; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Boiling broth can cause splatters; use a lid or splash guard.
  • The blender must be securely closed before blending.
