BEVERAGE RECIPES (FURA DA NONO)

Fura da nono is very popular in the Northern States, especially in Sokoto State, where it can be taken any time of the day.  Nono is the Hausa word for cow’s milk, sold by the Fulani women. However, many people prefer to use plain yogurt to mix with the fura and drink. 

Ingredients
                     

• 1/2 cup soya bean meal

• 1/2 cup millet or Guinea corn meal

• 1 tsp. dried pepper, ground

• 1/2 tsp. cloves, ground                   • 1 tsp. dried ginger root, ground

• 1 tbsp. corn flour

• 2 liters water (for boiling)

• 1 liter Fresh cow milk yogurt, "No-no" or Normal yogurt

• Granulated sugar to taste

Preparation

  1.    In a medium sized bowl, mix the dry flour ingredients and spices together. Make a well in the center and add a little water just enough to act as a binding agent for the dry ingredients. Mold into medium sized balls.

   2.    In a pot, heat the water for about 7mins and when it starts to boil, drop the molded balls into the water and leave to boil for about 20 minutes.

   3.     Transfer the boiled balls from the pot into a mortar and pound thoroughly. Re-mold once more into small balls and sprinkle with corn flour to keep the balls moist.

   4.    To serve, pour the Nono into a bowl , add the balls (mashed) and sugar to taste. Eat with a spoon.
