International Other recipe from the Wikibooks Cookbook.
½ teaspoon potash 2 cups wheat flour or guinea corn flour 2 tablespoons baobab leaf flour (kuka) 1 cup water (adjust as needed) ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste) 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or palm oil (for serving) ½ onion, chopped (for garnish) Shredded cabbage or yaji (Hausa pepper spice; optional)
Dissolve potash in a small bowl with a little water and set aside. In a large bowl, mix wheat flour (or chosen flour) with baobab leaf flour. Add the dissolved potash solution gradually into the flour mix. Slowly add water while stirring until you form a thick, smooth batter. Bring a large volume of water to a boil in a pot. Using a spoon or hand, scoop small portions of the batter and drop them into the boiling water. Let the dumplings cook for 10–15 minutes, or until they float and are firm to the touch. Drain the dumplings and drizzle with vegetable oil. Garnish with chopped onions and cabbage.
