How To Cook Oto Mboro (Unripe Banana Porridge)

Oto Mboro is a porridge made with grated or pureed unripe bananas and vegetables. They are made with bananas which are good sources of potassium, vitamin B6, vitamin C and fibres.

Banana Porridge or Oto Mboro is a delicious and healthy food. It is is a native staple to the Efik and Ibibio tribes of Cross River and Akwa Ibom states of South-South Nigeria..

They are part of the food given to their young maidens who are confined in the fattening rooms. It is high in nutrients but quite low in calories. Oto Mboro is also seen as ideal healthy weaning meal for babies.

To take Oto Mboro a notch higher, leave it overnight in the fridge, then warm adding little palm oil and eat the next day. During this warming, a toasty crust forms at the bottom, making the taste similar to the treasured socarrat at the bottom of the Spanish paella.
