Emma’s Okatete Komakwa
Method:
- 1. Disentangle the white fruit pulp from the baobab fruit and set it in a bowl.
- 2. Soak it in lukewarm water for 1 hour.
- 3. Whisk the mixture until blended and run it through a sieve into a pot.
- 4. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat, stir in omahangu flour and remember to keep stirring (gradually whisk in). The porridge will thicken as it cooks.

- 6. Add sugar to taste and simmer as you continue to stir frequently. Serve while hot or warm.
