Makopa ya nazi is among the lost Coastal cuisines. It has a long cooking procedure. Pealed cassava is preserved under moist and warm condition for a week or two until it begins to grow moulds.It is later kept under sunshine for 2 to 3 days. Later on it is soaked in water overnight and the preparation begins the following day.Makopa ya nazi is my favorite. This killer meal has such a calling aroma once toasted in coconut milk. Let’s see how it is prepared.This is a general recipe, the amount of sugar, coconut milk and cardamom you will use is dependent on the amount of dried cassava.
