Yummy. I prepared some yesterday but used maize flour instead

[@aseyediaba4479]

Isn’t tatale fried with palm oil? So this will be kaakro

[@omi_abena]

Exactly

[@Carol-b5v2r]

Was wondering the difference between tatalé and akakro/kaklo

[@trishabaah4757]

[@princessnaaofeibeaquarcoo3091]

[@Carol-b5v2r]

Egg and flour are not substitutes for each other, please

[@jenniferannabelmonny4001]

yummy! definitely trying this :D

[@succorosolano1582]

We call it kakro in Ghana 🇬🇭

[@lauraafutu6085]

Pls what flour did u use?

[@mrs_Afa_mprex]

Laura Afutu you can try any flour but the commonly used is cassava flour
You can use corn flour too but that makes it a bit coarse and heavy

[@Carol-b5v2r]

Maize/corn flour is mostly used, not cassava flour.
But to each his own, I guess

[@maameaya]
