The quality of your eba very much depends on the garri. Plus, remember, not too much water at once, and only use water that came to a boil. I haven't made eba in almost 5 years, I'm suddenly craving to make and devour some |

@OP - It's kinda easy, just make sure the water is well boiled, then pour it into the bowl you intend to use in preparing the 'eba'. Thereafter sprinkle your garri on the surface of the boiled water until it gets to the water level. Leave the garri to soak for about 2min before turning. With the above method their won't be any trace of lumps nor visible clumps of raw garri in your 'eba' And don't forget to invite me when you have it done. **Wink** |

@ 2nd picture, is that swiss roll or what?? In addition to Kunletiwoo's, continuously turn Eba on low heat. Add more hot water if strong. This makes it soft and fluffy. Although, I don't really like Eba. |

Re: Help With Eba Making O by Garrilord: 2:14pm On Sep 30, 2012 |
Just make sure you use boiling water,not hot... Pour the water inside the rubber or whatever it is you are using to make the eba.... Then pour the garri in the water,and let it come above the water just a little,then pour the water on the garri surface to cover the white garri that rose above the water level.. You can also add little water again,so that it can penetrate the pores of the garri to avoid that whitsh look.. Cover the garri and leave it for some minutes.... Then use your turning stick to do the remainin job. |

One of the factors that determine the texture of eba is the texture, moisture content at frying and % starch of garri. |

engrfcuksmtin: One of the factors that determine the texture of eba is the texture, moisture content at frying and % starch of garri. Correct. If the garri is very starchy, then donot let the water get very very hot, different methods for different textures of garri, smetimes its better to do a lil test with a handful of garri to know the best method(as in tempature of water, quantity of water added and stirring method) to use for that particular texture of garri. |

tjskii: I managed to somehow sha turn it,but d result wasn't aesthetically pleasing at all and it was very soft,had to make amala to salvage d situation,cos no way was I goin to serve my hubby d hotmess I made From ur pix, it shows dat u use a deep bowl in making ur eba, when next, use an average depth bowl(like half the depth of the one in ur pix) so that u can stir the eba evenly and generously, i think that will make the lumps melt and the grains of the garri smooth. |

@tjskill Garri is very easy to make...into a boiling pot of water, add salt, then your garri...you can put maggi if you want, but be sure to add some curry. Stir vigorously and close the pot for about 10-15 minutes. Open and taste your garri, ensure that its very thick before you bring it down. Serve with chilled juice. Good luck! |
Re: Help With Eba Making O by tpia5: 2:59pm On Dec 21, 2012 |
You need someone to watch you make the eba and also, it can depend on the type of garri. |
Re: Help With Eba Making O by babyme1(f): 10:04am On Dec 23, 2012 |
Don't use boiling water, allow the water to cool off a bit before adding the garri. 1 Like |
