Cookbook:Carrot Fufu

Carrot fufu is a swallow made from carrot, common in Nigeria due to its low carbohydrate content. It is easy to make once the carrot is blended smoothly.

Ingredients

 * Chopped carrot
 * Psyllium husk powder or xanthan gum
 * Water

Special equipment

 * Blender
 * Cheesecloth

Procedure

 * 1) Blend the chopped carrot until smooth.
 * 2) Transfer the carrot to cheesecloth, and squeeze out all the water from the carrot paste.
 * 3) Cook the carrot pulp in a pot over medium heat for 5 minutes.
 * 4) Stir in the psyllium husk to thicken and bind the fufu.

Notes, tips, and variations
