Fura de nunu

Homemade Fura Da Nono

Fura de nunu as its fondly called. Fura da Nunu translates to Millet and Milk. Nono is locally fermented milk with a consistency that is thick but isn’t quite as thick as yogurt .

Traditionally, the vendors mold the fura into a ball and it’s mashed into the milk just before serving.
When you make this at home, there is no need to first make the millet into a ball, simply process and combine. I made use of Kafir milk in this recipe, because it’s the closest one to locally processed nono if you live outside Nigeria. For those at home, ask around the local Hausa community, they will be able to tell you where to find authentic nono.
