Hmmmm...I feel like having some Masa this Morning................

Masa is a Snack but can also be taken as a full meal.It is made from rice and its mostly found in the northern part of Nigeria,made by the hausa people.

  Masa can be taken with:
*(Miya) a popular vegetable soup specially made for it with biscuit bones
*Yaji(grounded dry garnished pepper)
*Any side protein such as peppered gizzard,kidney,liver,chicken etc
*Others take it with syrups such as honey

Recipe
3 cups of white rice or jasmine rice
3 tablespoons of yeast
A little potash
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of flour
Onions(optional)
Sugar to your taste

Procedure:
Wash your rice and soak for some hours,fetch a handful of rice seperately and per boil with a little potash(it will turn yellowish)dont fret,its normal.
Add the perboiled rice into the soaked rice,add your yeast and blend,keep adding little water as you blend to avoid it being too hard.make sure at the end,its not too watery and not too hard.make sure it blend well,mix your flour well in a little water to avoid lumps then pour into the batter.cover it in a large bowl and keep in a warm place to rise,some people keep it under the sun.

When it rise,add a pinch of salt,sugar to your taste,chopped onions (optional) and its ready to fry.with just little oil until it turn a little brown.make sure its on low heat so it can be fried all through to the inside.

It has a special pan specifically design for it to give it its signature shape but it can also be fried in a normal pan like pancakes.
