    Peel very neatly. Wash very clean and soak with in a deep bowl or big bucket depending on the quantity in a dry place.

  4. 4

    Then in a big plastic stainless bowl like the one you see in the picture. Add some quantity water, get your sieve, little by wash it till it's left of only the chaff. Repeat this process till you're done washing.

  5. 5

    Then leave it to settle to the water in it will come up. Then carefully pour out the water and get a sack and pour inside. Then get a block or hard/thick plank and place on it to drain the rest of the water in it.

  6. 6

    Let's get pounding😂😂😂. Get your cassava, mix in a bowl like you mix your flour with little water. And mould a hand full, put inside a pot of boiling water already on fire by then. Cover and allow to boil for 3min.

  7. 7

    Use you frying spoon to pack it out from pot into a mota and pound very well to make sure there no lumps in it

  8. 8

    Then now the last part. Mould little by. Let's say the size of an egg roll dough. Put into the pot. Add a little salt if you notice some lumps in it to dissolve them then cover to cook for the last time

  9. 9

    This might take approximately 30mins to cook. Pack our of the pot and pound

  10. 10

    Then mould like this or you put everything in you cooler. Your akpu/cassava meal is ready. Enjoy with any soup of your choice. If you have anywhere you're lost, do well to chat me privately.
