Ghana Best Banku Mix – 700g | Authentic Fermented Corn & Cassava Ready-to-Cook Banku Flour

Real banku, no days of prep — delivered to your UK door 🇬🇧

Banku is one of those dishes that takes you straight back. The slightly sour, tangy aroma of the fermented dough hitting the hot water, the rhythmic stirring, the smooth pale balls served alongside grilled tilapia or a bowl of okra stew. It's Ghanaian comfort food at its finest — and Ghana Best Banku Mix makes it possible any night of the week, right in your UK kitchen.

Ghana Best Banku Mix is a ready-to-cook flour made from a proportionate mixture of fermented corn and cassava, designed to cook into the smooth, whitish paste that is served with soup, stew, or a pepper sauce with fish. Rileystropicalfood

Key Ingredients

Fermented Corn Dough and Cassava Dough — the classic two-ingredient heart of authentic Ghanaian banku, pre-fermented and milled into a convenient flour so the days of soaking, grinding, and waiting are completely taken care of for you.

• 🌽 Fermented Corn (Maize) Dough — the foundation of authentic banku, bringing that unmistakeable slightly sour, tangy flavour rooted in generations of Ga-Dangme culinary tradition. The fermentation process begins the digestion of starches and fibre, making nutrients more bioavailable
• 🌿 Cassava Dough — adds the stretchy, cohesive body that gives banku its smooth, elastic texture and makes it the perfect vehicle for scooping up rich soups and stews

How to Prepare

1. Add Ghana Best Banku Mix to a bowl with enough cold water to form a smooth, lump-free paste — stir thoroughly before applying heat
2. Pour into a saucepan of boiling water, stirring constantly with a sturdy wooden spoon or ladle
3. Reduce to medium heat and keep stirring and "driving" the banku continuously — this is the step that builds the smooth, elastic texture
4. Add salt to taste and cook until the banku pulls cleanly away from the sides of the pot — approximately 15–20 minutes
5. Scoop into portions, shape into smooth balls using a wet bowl or damp hands, and serve hot

Tip: Banku firms up as it cools, so cook it slightly softer than your preferred final consistency if not serving immediately.
