  • Pepper
  • Onion chopped
  • Tomatoes chopped
  • Green pepper chopped
  • Eggs
  • Carrot
  • vegetable oil

  • Crack eggs in a bowl. Add chopped tomatoes, onions, green pepper, carrots, salt and whisk. 
  • Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat and spray with some oil. 
  • Pour egg mixture and turn over when the sides begins to brown. 
  • Put another saucepan on fire for the Banku, 
  • Add water and salt, cover to boil. 
  • Wash your hands and mix and mash up the corn and cassava dough in a bowl to form a paste picking out all the lumps and fibre that are in it.
  • Put the watery paste in the saucepan and stir gently until it starts to thicken. 

Note: As it progresses, it will start to gather at the bottom of the spoon and will need more and more force to stir it. 

  • Reduce the heat. Now use a dish cloth or towel to hold the pot in place, and still with the wooden spoon, start to knead it. 
  • Do this for about 5 minutes resting in between. 
  • Add 1 cup of water and use the wooden spoon to make a few holes in the mass. 
  • Increase the fire and cover. 
  • Turn it a few times during this process as the mixture bowls. 
  • When the water is almost finished, turn down the heat and start kneading the Banku again. 
  • Another 5 minutes should do it. Use a small bowl to shape the Banku into your preferred serving sizes.
