*Put some water to boil, until bubbling. Then scoop out a little of the hot water and set aside.


*Pour in some of theΒ  flour and start stirring real hard.
*If the mixture is watery, add more flour and continue stirring until smooth and hard (or as you want the consistency


*After about 1 minute, gradually add a little of the hot water you had set aside, cover the pot and leave to boil for 1 minute to cook the flourcompletely and remove any raw taste.
Β  Then mix thoroughly and your Wheat meal/Semo/Fufu or Amala is ready.

Β Method 2

* Pour water in a pot, add 3/4 of the semo flour or fufu flour into the pot of water.

* Heat up the pot and start stirring the semoΒ  or fufu, to prevent burning at the bottom.

* As the semo cooks, you’ll begin to perceive the aroma and noticeΒ  that the consistency might be a bit light,then gradually add the remaining flour and continue stirring until you get a thicker consistency.
Β  Put off the heat, scoop out and serve with you soup of choice.

    I was told this was a healthy alternative to the white flour yam. Do you believe this is healthy?
