How To Make Dan Wake

Here is the recipe for the “Dan wake”.

First, you get the Dan wake flour which is readily available now. You get the flour and mix it with a little water to make a thick paste. When you are done with making the paste, boil water in a pot and proceed to the next level.

Step 2

When the water starts to boil, keep forming the paste into small balls and throwing them into the boiling water. Allow them to boil for about 10mins(the balls will rise to the top when they are done).

Step 3

You then strain all the water and rinse with cold water once. Strain and turn it into a plate.

HARISSA GRILLED CHICKEN

BROWNIE RECIPE

My recipe for brownies! In order for it to turn out like (aka better than) the boxed mix, use granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, salt, and chocolate chips. Then,  adds these key ingredients: 2 eggs + water  – use a bit of water with the eggs to achieve the moist, gooey texture of boxed mix brownies without any commercial emulsifiers.

Powdered sugar  – The trick to making homemade brownies that are just like ones from a box!

JOLLOF RICE

  There are hundreds of different dishes in the world, but there is only a handful that has enough flavor for me to eat alone. A bowl of Jollof rice is one of those dishes. You know, the kind where you can taste the spoon or fork after you’re done with the food? I mean, you’d want to lick it clean. Jollof is deliciously addictive.

They mostly cook into the rice leaving small pieces, rather than large chunks in the rice which I prefer. The tomatoes will add a bit of sweetness to balance out the heat of the chili.  Spicy chilies : The rice is traditionally on the spicy side of things. I use habanero pepper for its unique fruity fla...
