Masa is a Northern snack similar to a pan fried rice cake.
The recipes vary from one household to the other, but the basic premise never changes.
Traditionally, in Hausaland (Northern part of Nigeria), masa is used occasionally in the ceremonial and festive periods, more commonly during breakfast.
How to make Masa
Ingredients for Serving: 4persons
Method of preparation
Get 3 cups of white rice in a bowl. Divide into two equal part.
Wash the first part and soak in a bowl with potash.
Soak a teaspoon of potash in a half cup of water. Allow to settle. Then pour in to the first part of the rice in a bowl. Add more water and allow to soak for 8 to 10 hours. (It is best if you soak it overnight).
When you are ready to prepare the masa, get the second part of the rice. Wash and boil it with just water. Boil it until it is very soft. Go ahead and mash it to pulp.
Mix the soaked rice with the mashed rice together.
Add sugar and salt to taste.
Add teaspoon of yeast, stir and allow frothing for 30 minutes. The batter should be running not thick.
Grease your masa pan with vegetable oil and scoop your batter into the pan.
Allow to cook until it is golden brown.
Turn the other side with a spoon and also observe as it cooks and turn golden brown.
Serving
masa can be served in two ways
If you find yourself in Nigeria this should be part of your must taste food.
Don't say I didn't tell you ?
Kind regards

Hi @Sagir,
Thank you for sharing your rice cake recipe with us! And thank you for the tag. 🙂
I'm curious, what's the flavour of the homemade masa? Is it savoury or sweetish? And can you eat it with jam, for example?

I've been looking forward to this! When the Northern home calls, there are lots of foods to devour! I may not try this at home but I won't miss any opportunity to have the taste of it everytime. Thanks @Sagir for sharing
