Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Baldo rice several times, but do not aim for completely clear water so some starch remains.
- 2
Put the rice, water, and salt in a pot and cook over medium heat for 18 minutes until soft.
18 min18:00 - 3
When the texture thickens, lower the heat, cover, and cook for 8 more minutes until the grains break down.
8 min08:00 - 4
Mash the rice against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon for 6 minutes.
6 min06:00 - 5
Oil your hands lightly and shape portions of the hot rice dough into balls.
- 6
Rest the tuwo balls in a covered container for 5 minutes in their own steam.
5 min05:00 - 7
Serve tuwo shinkafa with hot soup or sauce.
💡 Tip: Use a starchy rice such as Baldo; separate-grain pilaf rice has trouble binding into the tuwo texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve tuwo shinkafa hot with groundnut soup, okra soup, or optional meat and vegetable sauce.
