Notes
Before cooking, ensure you wash the guinea corn thoroughly. Place the grains in a bowl and rinse with clean water several times, gently rubbing them between your fingers to remove dust, dirt, or unwanted particles. You may notice some husks or debris float to the top. Skim these off and discard. Repeat the process until the water runs clear. Proper washing not only ensures cleanliness but also improves the taste and texture of the final dish.
