How To Make Hausa Koko (Ghana's Spiced Millet Porridge) From Scratch 

I would love to make this myself, where can I get the millet? Is there one that you’d recommend?

This brings back profound memories of Wajir Barracks, Teshie, home of the 48th Field Engineers, where my father was the RSM from 1970-1977. The lady who used to sell the Hausa Koko, at the market (now named General Mensa-Wood market) husband was a drill instructor at Military Academy and Training School., MATS. By 8am it will all be gone. Very delicious. Again, I’m very impressed with your first class presentation. You make us very proud. Thank you!!!

A woman of substance, thats how i can describe you we should never be lazy when its come to kitchen department.

1st time coming across your channel. I am from Namibia. Millet is a staple food for people from the northern part of Namibia. I have never seen the porridge done this way before. We ferment the grains, dry it and then mill it. From the flour we can then make a soft or thick/hard porridge. Now that I am living in CA, where the grains are expensive and milling services may be difficult to get. I will try out your method. It looks convenient for my situation.

I loved this coco so much my mum always buys it every Saturday from. A Hausa lady who carried them from house to house on her wheelbarrow 😂😂,let me settle down and watch,thank you ma !

What a coincidence for me to try hausa koko for the first time last week in church and trying to figure out how it is made.Sis you are an angel in disguise and you came to the rescue.Thanks a million for sharing and God’s richest blessings .I love it!!!!

Man you take me back to Ghana with all your preparation techniques and the traditional bowl and final set up of your meals. Excellent job!

I Learned a lot from the video. This is my favorite breakfast when am in Ghana. Love it. Thank you so much.

This is good reminds me of home am Ugandan living in the UK. This is the porridge we used to take for breakfast growing up, we normally add milk and sugar but l like this one with ginger and coco. If you live in IK try the Asian shops, ugandan shops or Holland and Barratts. Very rich in iron. Thank you.

The cooking pot reminds me of my granny

Thanks for sharing this recipe. So there’s no salt added right? I just want to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Thanks

Wow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤please Thank you

Koko to the world

I will try this method

First here today 💃👌😋

I'm a retired culinary professinal, and I'm always fascinated at learning the reasons of why traditional foods are prepared in certain ways. Can anyone tell me why these types of porridges are blending and strained so thoroughly to get a completely smooth porridge? And is the fermentation for flavor or to increase the nutritional value or digestibility? I make a spicy millet porridge, but I prefer the texture of the whole grain. Usually I'll boil the water for cooking the millet with the spices for 10-15 minutes; strain out the spices, and then sdd the millet and cook until the millets are soft and creamy. Sometimes I'll add some oat flour or sorghum flour for variety and more nutrition. Love to serve these with fresh fruit, nuts, and honey.

Good job there

Delicious 😋

The liquid is good for making original Tuo Zaafi (millets fufu) sour water it’s called

I’m Congolese my hubby is Ghanian He loves this.. literally one of his favorite recipe .. I’m hesitant to make it 🤧😩

Looks so good. Presentation Excellent

Tnx Kwankye.

You were not joking when you said from scratch. 😂 love it.

Yum😊

We Haitians eat out of calabash as well, more common in the country side since people in the capital think they are aristocrats and I think when our ancestors went to the Caribbean they were looking to make this. However, I don’t think that they had the time to embark in the boat with belongings so once they get to Hispaniola they invented Akasan meaning A.K.A 100 out of corn 🌽 please check it out once it’s all done and all you can decide to add milk and sugar in it after or before your choice really… no rules👌🏾

Thanks for sharing l will still need the recipe and preparation in my email or PDF

Beautiful video...please what's the local Ghanaian name for cloves?

Hi dear, please can you let me know the store you bought the millet?

Could you please tell me what millet did you use. It is my understanding that there are different types.

I like your natrual bowl.In my country we call them calabash or goudie

So next tym u are doing the one in the fridge u will use ordinary water instead of the fermented one ?

Tasty, please come to California and prepare it for us. Greetings to the family.

I made the porridge yesterday and today. So good. I was so scared my stomach will bother me cuz of the gluten in millet that I can’t tolerate. I used millet from Bob’s Red mill Millet that is gluten free. It was a life saver. Thank you for sharing your recipe

Hausa kooko saved my life sometime ago so I don't joke with it at all😂don't ask me how it saved my life 😂

Thanks for sharing, back to Ghana oooooo

Did you buy your millet from Amazon? And which type. There are a lot of different kinds out there

❤❤❤

Do u save the water too with the paste??
