Kunun Gyada (Groundnut and Rice Gruel)

Kunun gyada is a light porridge made from blended raw groundnut and rice, usually eaten in the northern part of Nigeria.

Ingredients

• 1 cup raw groundnuts
• ½ cup soft rice
• ⅓ cup cool water
• ¼ teaspoon tamarind

Steps

1. Soak the tamarind for 3 hours and extract the juice. Also, soak the rice and raw groundnut in separate bowls for a few hours.
2. Drain the groundnuts. Grind them in a blender with some water and strain the resulting groundnut milk.
3. Drain the rice and grind with a little water.
4. Boil the groundnut milk in a pot, stirring to prevent sticking and lumps. Slowly stir in the blended rice.
5. Stir in the tamarind juice and serve.
