Gawou Foto, Akara with garri, Bean fritter with garri (Gawufotor)

Gari, Gali or Garri is a crunchy ready to eat gluten free cassava couscous.To make crunchy garri, cassava or yuca tubers are peeled, washed and grated finely. The starchy liquid is then completely removed by pressing the finely grated cassava paste into a porous plastic bag.  The paste is then sieved and toasted in large clay pot. The result in a dry granular white powder called garri. It can be stored in an airtight container for years. Garri is used to make multiple dishes in Africa including this Gawou fotor. You can also purchase Garri here.

This Gawou fotor is best spicy if you love spicy food. I personally love loading mine with onion, and tomatoes.
