- Bring 3 c. of water to a boil in a large pot. Add in the semolina slowly to the water, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Use a strong wooden spoon, stir constantly for a few min, till the mix begins to thicken. You may need two people - one to hold the pot and one to stir. If the fufu seems thinner than mashed potatoes, add in more semolina. Stir and cook another 10 min.
- Shape the fufu into balls, if you like. Serve immediately with meat stew or possibly any dish with a sauce or possibly gravy. Tear off a small handful of fufu with your fingers and use it to scoop up your meat and sauce.
