Kokoro Making Directions

*In a small bowl, add half cup of the cornmeal, sugar, pepper, salt and grated ginger. Mix thoroughly and set aside

* Pour half cup of water into a pot, leave to boil and then add the mixed corn meal, stir continuously until you get a stretchy mix that looks just like Eba (you would notice the change in the mixture) . 

* Place the corn meal in a big bowl, cover and leave to cool completely 

* When it is cooled, add the remaining cornmeal and knead until smooth.

* Take a little portion  and roll in between your palm, you can also roll it on a flat table to get a longer shape.Repeat this process for the remaining dough.

* Now heat up some vegetable oil until hot and fry the rods shaped dough until it hardens. 

*Remove the Kokoro and place on sieve lines with paper towels, to remove excess oil.Leave to cool and ENJOY!

Kokoro can be eaten as a snack on it own or with soft drinks, fruit juices , kunnu or zobo .
