How To make semovita flour at home using cassava and Guinea corn, you will need to

process both ingredients separately and then combine them. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Ingredients:
- Cassava roots
- Guinea corn grains

Equipment:
- Grater
- Blender or grain mill
- Fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth
- Baking sheet or tray
- Oven or dehydrator (optional)

Step 1: Processing Cassava
- Peel the cassava roots and cut them into smaller pieces for easy processing.
- Grate the cassava using a grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
- Squeeze out the liquid from the grated cassava by wrapping it in a clean cloth or cheesecloth and squeezing tightly. This process helps remove excess moisture.

Step 2: Drying Cassava
- Spread the squeezed cassava gratings onto a baking sheet or tray in a thin layer. Ensure that the layer is evenly distributed.
- Place the tray in an oven or dehydrator at a low temperature (around 120°F or 50°C) to dry the cassava. Leave the oven or dehydrator door slightly open to allow moisture to escape.
- Dry the cassava until it becomes crisp and brittle. This process may take several hours or longer, depending on the drying method and the thickness of the cassava layer.

Step 3: Grinding Guinea Corn
- Clean the Guinea corn grains to remove any debris or impurities.
- Grind the Guinea corn grains into a fine powder using a blender or a grain mill. Ensure that the powder is finely ground for a smoother texture.

Step 4: Combining Cassava and Guinea Corn
- Once the cassava gratings are completely dried and the Guinea corn is ground into a fine powder, combine them together in a bowl.
- Mix the dried cassava gratings and the Guinea corn powder thoroughly until they are well-blended.

Step 5: Grinding and Sieving (optional)
- If you desire a finer texture for your semovita flour, you can further grind the combined mixture using a blender or a grain mill.
- Pass the ground mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or use a cheesecloth to remove any larger particles and achieve a smoother flour consistency.

Step 6: Drying and Storing (optional)
- If you want to ensure that the semovita flour is completely dry, spread it onto a baking sheet or tray and place it in an oven or dehydrator at a low temperature until it is thoroughly dry.
- Allow the semovita flour to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container or storage bag.
- Store the homemade semovita flour in a cool, dry place. It should stay fresh for several months.

Now you have homemade semovita flour made from cassava and Guinea corn, which you can use to make semovita by following the cooking instructions on the package. Enjoy your homemade semovita!

Fish roll.
Baked fish roll not fry

Ingredients
For the dough
-500 Grams Flour
-1/2 teaspoon Salt
-1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-1 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional)
-2 tablespoon Sugar(sugar is optional, not everybody like sugar in their fish roll)
-200 Grams Margarine or butter or 50/50
-2 eggs
-100 ml evaporated milk or fresh or water
-Vegetable oil for frying

For the filling:
-2-3 TablespoonVegetable oil
-1 small Onions
-1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
-1/2 teaspoon Oregano
-1/2 Teaspoon eachCurry & Thyme
-Salt to taste
-2-3 medium-size Fried Mackerel
-1 Can Sardine in Tomato sauce

How to prepare:

-Mix all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl (flour, margarine/ butter, nutmeg, salt and sugar). You should either use a stand mixer, spatula or whisk if you don’t want to use your hands but nevertheless hand does the job better.
-Add the milk to the dry ingredients, then add the water bit by bit until the dough is properly formed. The reason I suggest bit by bit is because the consistency of our margarine or butter may differ, so add according to the texture of your dough and stop when the right consistency has been achieved.
-Remove the dough from the bowl and drop it on a floured surface and knead until smooth but don’t over knead the dough.
-Drop it back in the bowl and cover with a neat kitchen towel or clingy film or foil and allow to rest for about 30-40 minutes at room temperature.
-Take it out and drop it on the rolling mat or a floured clean surface, divide it and start rolling out with a rolling pin.
-Add about 1 teaspoon of the filling and roll.
-Repeat the process until you roll out all the dough.-Set your heat gauge to 180 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes.
Note: the vegetable oil listed in the ingredients is for frying, therefore if you don't which to bake your fish roll you can simply fry

In recent years, I began a self discipline of consuming more natural drinks and less carbonated drinks. Asides the smoothies I teach you, natural juices are another great option.

INGREDIENTS

1 medium size pineapple
1 medium size lemon
1 medium size fresh ginger
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
A pinch of salt
5 - 6 ice cubes

PROCEDURE

📌 Peel pineapple and cut into blendable sizes.

📌 Peel your lemon entirely, remove seeds and cut into four parts.

📌 In your blender, place pineapple dices, lemon, peeled ginger, ice cubes and blend until smooth.

📌 Seive to extract juice from fibre. Add your sugar, pinch of salt and give a good stir.

This juice can be served to both children and adults (except diabetic adults).
