Gather all your ingredients and equipment before starting.

In a large pot, bring the water to a rolling boil.

Gradually add the cassava or yam flour to the boiling water while stirring continuously.

Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture vigorously for about 5 minutes.

If using, add the plantain to the pot and continue to stir.

Keep stirring for an additional 5-10 minutes until the mixture is smooth and pulls away from the sides of the pot.

Once cooked, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.

Wet your hands and shape the Fufu into balls or a smooth mound.

Serve your Fufu warm alongside your favorite soup or stew.
