Heritage & History

The heart of Fulani pastoral culture across Northern Cameroon, traditionally mixed with spiced steamed millet balls (fura).

Preparation & Cooking Steps

3 steps

Let raw fresh whole cow's milk stand at room temperature for 12 hours with cultured starter milk.

Once fully set and curdled (12 to 24 hours), drain through a cheesecloth if a thicker curd is desired.

Stir gently with a pinch of salt and chill before serving with millet balls or fruit.

Chef's Tip & Secret
