Bring the water to a boil and cook the starches until they are fork-tender, which typically takes about 45 minutes.



Drain the water and transfer the cooked pieces into a large mortar, adding a small amount of salt for seasoning.





Pound the mixture vigorously using a large pestle until it becomes smooth, elastic, and uniform in texture, adding a splash of hot water if needed to adjust consistency.


Shape the fufu into smooth balls and serve immediately while hot alongside your favorite soup or stew.
