Sinasir is a delicacy popular in Borno. It is a very soft and slender dish that takes time, patience and a little skill to make, but once you get the hang of it, it is very easy to make; and yet it tastes delightful. Traditionally eaten with okro, it can also be accompanied by stew or vegetable soup. One advantage of Sinasir is it is light enough for a starter, and you can make it sweet for a dessert, with chocolate or any other sweet sauce for added comfort.
Ingredients:
White rice - 1kg
Sugar - half a cup
Onion - 1 medium size
Yeast - 1 teaspoon
Yeast - 1 teaspoon
Potash - Any size will do
Direction:
Soak the rice for 30minutes, grind together with the onion to a smooth paste. Then cook half a cup of white rice and combine with the paste. Sprinkle a teaspoon of yeast and let it sit overnight to ferment.
It should look like this after the fermentation process.
Soak potash in water, leave to sit for 20 to 30minutes, then add to the paste and mix. Pour half a cup of water into it and mix (you can reduce or increase the sugar quantity, just add to your taste).
Put a non-stick frying pan on the stove, add about a teaspoon of oil and leave until hot.
Pour a ladle full of the paste, cover and leave to cook for 3 to 5minutes.
Open the lid and remove your cooked Sinasir.
Continue until desired amount reached. Enjoy!
