Hausa Koko

What we know so far

Hausa koko is Ghana's morning porridge, sold from big pots at dawn in Nima, Madina and every zongo: fermented millet ground with ginger, cloves, grains of selim, guinea pepper and African nutmeg, strained, and cooked into a thin, silky, spiced brown porridge. It comes in a polythene bag or a bowl with koose (bean fritters) or bofrot, sweetened with sugar and sometimes milk. The Hausa of the zongo communities brought it; the whole country now queues for it.

The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 9 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.

AFN already has a page for this dish from another country. Both records stand, so write what makes yours different. See the page we already have

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
