#kunucontest. Kunun gyada is most popular kunu in the northern part of Nigeria, Why?? Because we learnt it since from our ancestors. But have you ever considered the health benefits of kunun gyada (groundnut pap)?? Groundnut is rich in antioxidants, it is a high source of protein which builds the body, and also minerals and vitamins which protects the body against diseases. To talk of rice, well it is a great source of carbohydrates and therefore acts as a source of fuel for the body. It controls disease's occurrence such as cancer etc, it prevents constipation and also controls Blood pressure.

Steps

1

In a bowl, soak the 1/2 cup of rice in warm water for about 30 minutes and set aside.
2

In another bowl, soak the tsamiya (tamarind, that is if you are using it) also in a warm water for 30 minutes and also set aside.
3

Pour the soaked groundnuts into a blender, add just a little water and blend it to get a smooth paste. Add water to the paste and seive the groundnut milk into a pot.
4

Cook the groundnut milk and the rice on a medium heat. Watch it closely to avoid it from spilling which may reduce the quantity and quality of the pap. Keep stirring from time to time to avoid lumps.
5

When the rice is cooked, it's ready. You can now add the tsamiya, lemon or lime juice to thicken it. Add sugar or honey to your taste.
6

Ulala, and now your kunun gyada is ready. It can be served with either kosai (akara), dafa soya (fried meat) or masa etc. OH YUM 😋
