Steps

45 mins

1

Mix 1 cup of cornmeal into 200 ml of water in a pot. Add your cayenne pepper, salt and sugar.
2

Mix well with a wooden spatula. Turn on your gas stove and set the pot on it.
3

Stir until it thickens and becomes a little hard. Turn off the stove.
4

Set it aside and allow it cool down. When it has cooled down, add your remaining cornmeal and mix with the spatula.
5

Get a work surface. Start rolling a little piece of the dough with the palm of your hand. The smaller, the crunchier. Make at least 5 for each batch.
6

Heat up the oil in a frying pan. When it is hot, put 8-11 of the shaped dough into the oil and fry until golden brown on both sides

Your crunchy Kokoro is ready! Enjoy this with any juice or milk of choice.
