In reply to Beekay. that's because the time stipulated here for the yeast to act i think it isn't enough or your yeast has lost its potency

Thanks for the recipe. I tried ur recipe but my Masa is not coming up well. I think the batter is watery bcoz the outside of the Masa was well fried but the inside was undone. Pls is there any remedy to this.

In reply to rachel.

You can eat it with any pepper soup of your choice, eg, oxtail, ram beef etc. you can also take it with normal vegetable soup, but it should be watery

I tried this recipe the golden brown colour was perfect but my masa is not fluffy inside instead it’s too thick and heavy. What can I do to get a fluffy or spongy kind of masa

In reply to presh steve. I think it's probably because you had too much heat. It should be cooked slowly.

By: presh steve

presh steve — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:50:52 +0000

I tried my own Masa, the outer part what very ok but the inside was still raw. .. could it be coz yeast was too much or because I used the normal rice instead of tuwon shinkafa kind?

In reply to rachel. I am not sure baking soda does the same job as potash, your masa may end up slightly different from the real thing.

By: rachel

rachel — Fri, 09 Feb 2018 19:46:37 +0000

Hello, I don’t live in Nigeria anymore, and it’s hard to get potash. Can I use baking soda, or something else? Thank you.

In reply to niks.

You grind the soaked rice. Some people grind it along with the boiled one, easier than mashing (softer if done in local grinding machines not blender)
The rice used is white rice.
For the pan, you could always use a non-stick pan, and make it wider like pancakes

I tried it but it not stick together after frying I don’t maybe is because I did not add potash or because is watery

Omg! I love masa, you just reminded me of my mother’s kitchen. I am from Hausa but serving in the east. It have been a long time since I enjoyed anything from home. Igbo foods are great but there is nothing that compares with an original Hausa food.

By: Obiora

Obiora — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 17:58:43 +0000

I’d probably start with masa. It seems quite simple and I am feeling confident already. I will get back to you once I am done.

Oluchi — Thu, 03 Mar 2016 19:58:55 +0000

I am from igbo but my family have been living in the Bauchi for the last 26 years. I don’t even know how to make my tribal foods. All I know is how to make Hausa foods. I just made some delicious masa. I will send you the recipe picture soon. Thanks.
