Tuwon masara is a Nigerian corn flour swallow[1] eaten primarily by the Hausa and Fulani that resembles fufu.
This meal is not only common in the northern parts of Nigeria, it is well known around the world, it is just cooked in different ways depending on the country.
Tuwon masara is similar to sadza, a popular Southern African food.
After the corn has been grounded, it can be poured directly into a pot of boiling water while stirring continuously to create a dough-like mush.
Another method is by mixing the cornflour into a thick paste and then pouring it into a pot of boiling water to make a smooth dough-like mush.
