Boil water in a large pot until it reaches a rolling boil.

Mix a portion of corn flour with cold water until thick, then add it to the boiling water.

Stir immediately and vigorously to combine.

Cover the pot and let it cook once it starts boiling.

After some time, check if it's well cooked and then add the dry corn flour.

Mix well and vigorously to ensure there are no lumps.

Continue stirring and cover the pot again to let it cook.

Check the texture; if it's too strong, add some boiled water to adjust.

Stir again and repeat the process until you achieve the desired texture.

To check if the fufu is ready, look for any water on top or sides; if present, it needs more cooking.

Once ready, you can wrap it in plastic wrap or let it cool and cut it into desired shapes for storage.
