Growing up we never had local Hausa dishes in our home due to d fact that my dad is not a from the north and he is very strict with what we eat,but we loved some local dishes and my mum been a Hausa woman tried teaching us some, dambun shinkafa happens to be one of my favourite local delicacy it's easy to make

Steps

1hr 10min

1

Wash rice grits 3 times and soak for 15minutes to soften.wash Moringa leaves and steam for 10 minutes.
2

Boil water in a steamer or pot,drain the rice grits and pour into a steamer or a sieve with sieving cloth and place over a pot and steam for 15 minutes.
3

Rinse the Rice again and drain then transfer to a big bowl and add steamed zogale, seasoning, groundnut,onion,pepper and oil and mix together till all incorporated.
4

Then pour the mixture back to the steamer and steam for 30-40 minutes.it can be eaten with sauce,oil and chilli pepper.
5

Note: instead of using my steamer I decided to try using a colander and a sieve cloth to see if it gives me d same result, if your rice is not soft after 30-40 minutes you Can steam a little bit more.the water for steaming should never dry out and should not be touching your rice while steaming.if you notice your water is almost drying off add a little bit.
