INGREDIENTS FOR HAUSA KOKO DOUGH/ mixture:
3 cups of millet, 8 cloves of whentia (AKA, grains of selim), 5 dried chilis (optional), 1/4 cup of chopped ginger, 1 teaspoon of cloves, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper corns, 2000 ml of water.
RECIPE:
Wash millet throughly with lots of water, and soak with water overnight to soften for easy blending. Blend all above ingredients with water into a strainable mixture, and strain to remove roughage/chaff.
Recommending a second re-blending of obtained chaff, with water, for the purpose of extracting as much millet meal as possible. Strain repeatedly till millet Hausa koko mixture is smooth and without roughage.
Let millet Hausa koko mixture rest and ferment in 24 hrs. During this period, the millet Hausa koko meal will separate to bottom and have a straw colored liquid on top.
To cook millet Hausa koko, gently pour straw colored liquid into cooking pot, and bring to a rolling boil, remove foam from surface of hot liquid, and remove pot from source of heat. Scoop 2 ladles full of solid millet meal into a separate bowl and add 2 more ladles full of remaining liquid from millet mixture and whisk together till smooth.
Now, whisk this mixture into the hot liquid. It is crucial to pour the millet mixture into the pot of hot liquid and whisk simultaneously till desired silky smooth thickness is obtained. Best millet Hausa koko consistency is twice the thickness of heavy whipping cream.
Last step is to cover the pot to trap the steam to continue cooking the Hausa koko while off source of heat for 10 more minutes.
Ready to serve when the Hausa koko gets a glossy shine or sheen to its appearance. Add preferred sweetener and enjoy it!

I'm from northern Ghana, and can tell you that you nailed it with your spices, and the preparation!
Hausa koko is never cooked on direct fire like regular traditional white corn dough porridge is!
This is the way I make it too, except I take the short cut by buying the already milled millet flour from the Indian Store, near my house here in Virginia. It saves time and work. You should have one in your town in AZ... you may want to check 'em out!
I take personal umbrage when I see people inaccurately preparing dishes from northern Ghana and claiming it's "authentic" dishes from northern Ghana! 😁
Anyway, ayekoo, once again, on a job well done!!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Thank you Yvonne! Your comment validates my efforts 🙏🏿❤️
Also , Yvonne, I did find powdered millet from an Ethiopian grocery store and I agree it will be a lot less stressful to use for all millet recipes! Thank you 🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️
Yvonne A oh yhhh she nailed it to the cross , sweat, I am amaze self , cause detailed it and broke it down to the lowest denominator it can get , got my mind twisted a bite , I had to look at her face and name again to make sure is nanaaba , and not aunty mamuna tricking me , this is Hausa koko as best as it could get . Great koko chemistry
How do I make it from the dry powder I got from the store?
I have it but don't know how to make it, plz help!
Awwww, Kobla 🙏🏿❤️❤️ It’s your sis oooo! Auntie Mamuna had nothing to do with this chemistry today 😂😂
Nana Aba I love how you speak fante
Thank you!! It is my father’s tongue 🙏🏽😘
I don't have millet I'm from one of the Caribbean countries but I really like looking and comparing your cooking skills. You are the most favorable keep shining.
My sis, I love Millet Porridge. As a matter of fact, Millet is staple food in my Country of origin(Uganda). I live in Canada(Toronto), and believe me there's plenty of Millet/Millet Flour in Sri Lankan and East Indian Stores. In Uganda, we make Millet Porridge with either Milk,Tamarind or with Lemon Flavored water. However, we use Finger Millet(Reddish of Brownish in Colour). The Millet you are using is Pearl Millet. To prepare Millet Porridge, simply Boil 2-3 cups water, add Milk or Lemon or Tamarind Flavoured water. In a separate Cup, mix Half a Cup of Millet powder in Cold water. Add mixture to Boiled water. Add Sugar, Honey if you like and Enjoy.😀
Millet can also be used to make Millet Fufu. Simply add Millet Flour + Dry Cassava Flour. Make it same way like Ghanaian or Nigerian Fufu.
In Southern India, Millet is called RAGI. In Sri Lanka, Millet is called KURAKAN. Thank you.
Knowledge is power sis! Wow! Learned a ton of new things and the day is only beginning for me! I appreciate this, very enlightening 🙏🏿❤️❤️ Thank you 🙏🏿😘
@@NanaabasKitchen
You are welcome sis.
Thanks madam!!! Reminds me of my childhood in Salaga, N. Ghana. My mouth is indeed watering and I can taste it. What I realised when I was last in Ghana is that the current crop of koko sellers don't make it as rich as it used to be for economic reasons. For example they no longer add "gudaji" which are little "balls" cooked together to be chewed in the koko. One of my favourite childhood ones is also the green more spicier type of koko called "kunun kanwa" normally prepared for a woman who has recently delivered a baby, it is believed to accelerate the production of milk for the new baby, among other benefits.Where I am domiciled in Scandinavia it is difficult to get these ingredients.
Thank you for keeping our culinary traditions alive!
It is with great pleasure and pride, that I strive to keep our culinary traditions alive! Thank you so much and yes, I agree and find it disappointing, that our authentic recipes are made to succumb to adulteration secondary to poor economy 😢 Thank you so much for watching and supporting Abdul Majeed 🙏🏽😍
I just admire how you put out quality videos all the time. Being a TH-camr can be challenging but you lady does it so effortlessly, I just admire your work it's very neat and detailed. The smile on your face at the end of the video was contagious. Oh! The fante dialect is on point👌. Thanks for bring the step by step instructions back in the description box it's awesome.
Stomie, your systematic analysis of this video and others you’ve watched and commented on here at Nanaaba’s Kitchen are inspired, uplifting and encouraging! You recommend without being forceful, you applaud when worthy and always so sincere Stomie! I feel it and I’m truly appreciative of your attention🙏🏿❤️❤️ Thank you and so much love ❤️🙏🏿
@@NanaabasKitchen thank you for your kind words.
Please be proud of where your mom comes from and speak the language. OSU
I know where my mom’s from and I speak Ga frequently and fluently on a selection of my videos and in real life. I identify equally and proudly with both my Ga and Fante heritage. I admonish you to watch all my videos and you’ll see for yourself ok Shokoloko Bankoshi 🤗 oyiwalagong for stopping by!

Thank you so much! I was in Mississauga Toronto recently and visit it again in store there and to my surprise, they had Hot Hausa koko. You’re right nothing is better than the authentic 🙏🏽😘😘😘

Hello my dear Jemimah! I’ll never forget your amazing comment on my shito video! It warmed my heart and it’s unforgettable!!thanks for your support from the very beginnings of Nanaaba’s Kitchen sis🙏🏽😘
Notified about all new videos
I love your channel I always say Ghanaian food is the best I've tasted normal coco but not Hauser coco I will be trying it definitely
You’ll totally love it🙏🏽😘
Love these channels but makes me sad as an african american bcuz my ancestors foods, culture, traditions, and origin of who they were, were stripped away during time of slavery and thru each generation assimilated to european american western culture. So alot of meats n meals I see prepared I'm not used to eat or anything else and mostly the meats tbh I'm not open minded but I'm appreciative of the culture of west africans and being able to keep the foods ..cultures n traditions is something u guys are very fortunate to have!
So proud of the work you’re doing on your channel. Blessings sis
That you so much! I’m encouraged by you 🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️
Hello Nana Aba, I really like this video, especially how you used the spatula to press out the liquid from the mixture. Lots of people use their hands, which I dislike, in my opinion. A great recipe in a very neat and hygienic condition. I will definitely try this, my favorite ... thanks.
Wao my fanti sister
Yes oooo 🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️
In fact ur way of cooking is very neat and unique 😍
Thank you so much 😘
Great video, just a quick question. How do you store the uncooked blended mixture and also how do you obtain another liquid when preparing the koko on a different day since you use up all the initial liquid for the first batch. Thanks.
So organized!
Vous êtes très propre c'est que j'aime beaucoup chez vous...
So much yummy recipe dear friends nanaaba's... Thanks for sharing
Thank you my dear AMREEN 🙏🏽❤️
You're so good at what you do. Great job.
Thank you Irene! Means a lot to read your words 🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️
I miss koko

Thank you 🙏🏽😘😘
oh how I miss home 🥺🥺 this looks amazing mum
Please consider doing a kitchen tool video complete with links where possible. Loving everything sis. Bless Up
Working on that in real time, thank you Jennifer 🙏🏽❤️
This is one of my favourite meals🤗. I had it, without fail, every Saturday for 14 years. My father never understood my obsession with it but he was always ready to drive me to the lady between 7:30-8:00am for my Hausa koko. And her koose was just 😋
Nanaaba, I love your kitchen and your utensils . With that said, I still don’t like cooking.😀 but I am fantastic company when it comes to eating😁.
That Fante half way through the segment gave me life. Happy Saturday
Aah this is koko , girl u put a shine on that koko, and great medicinal properties, the clove, hwintia, black peper and the ginger , that's a real healthy concoction , and look at the texture, super crystal and silky fine , tasty and inviting . Well done ooo . Wooooooow
Your approval oooo Kobla! Medaase ❤️❤️❤️
I love your blender it does everything. I wish I could afford one
It is an investment and I saved up to buy it and was also on a deal 🙏🏾😘
What an amazingly detailed presentation. Thanks so much for the insights from the cleaning of the millets to the storage of the koko for breakfast next day. ❤
...and yes for not using a cheesecloth but a finer strainer than the first 👊🏼
Thank you so much for your feedback 🙏🏽
Thank you for acknowledging the effort 🙏🏽❤️
Aunty try getting the red millet from the northern region. It tastes amazing. I grew up there tho ❤️❤️
Ohh so the red millets works well. Do u mean any kind of millets is cool? I bought millet 2day and i got homd and found out is called finger millet and i checked google it look redish so i was worried i bought the wrong item. It is red when not blended but looks ash or grey in powder
Please what the name of the red millet? Isit called finger millet? I bought millet from the shop and i got home to find out is called finger millet which is red in colour
I love your video🤗👍
So nice cooking
Thank you 🙏🏽❤️
I prefer yours it looks so glossy and delicious.
So amazing, i really miss it for long
Smart to keep straining the millet n freeze chaff, I have thrown it away before
Thank you Nanaaba for this video. You made it so simple 👌
Thank you Agnes! ❤️❤️❤️
