Semovita is a popular Nigerian food made from semolina flour, which is made from durum wheat. Here is a simple recipe for preparing semovita:
Ingredients:
– Semovita flour
– Water
Instructions:
1. Pour some water into a clean pot and place it on medium heat to boil.
2. In a separate bowl, add some semovita flour and a little water. Mix it thoroughly until it forms a thick paste.
3. Once the water in the pot has boiled, reduce the heat to low and gradually add the semovita paste while stirring continuously with a wooden spatula.
4. Keep stirring until the semovita mixture becomes a thick, smooth, and stretchy dough.
5. Turn off the heat and cover the pot. Allow the semovita to sit for a few minutes to cool and set.
6. After a few minutes, use a wooden spatula to break the semovita into small lumps.
7. Serve the semovita hot with your preferred soup or stew.
Note: The proportion of water to semovita flour may vary depending on the desired consistency and the brand of semovita flour used. It is important to stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming in the semovita.

I am now very good at preparing it. I remember the first time of trying it, it didn’t form well and it had a sweet taste. But these days I have become an expert.
