Garri is cassava that has been grated, fermented, pressed and toasted into dry grains, and it is the most dependable staple in the West African kitchen. It keeps well, it costs little and it turns into a meal in minutes.
Pour hot water over it and turn it into eba for soup, or soak it in cold water with sugar, groundnut or milk when the weather is heavy. The taste is mildly sour and lightly toasted, exactly as it should be. Prices are in RWF.
