Banku is a traditional Ghanaian dish made from fermented corn and cassava dough. It is cooked by mixing the dough with water and stirring until it reaches a smooth, stretchy consistency. Banku is often served as a side dish and is typically enjoyed with various soups, stews, or grilled fish. This staple food is popular in the coastal regions of Ghana and is known for its slightly sour taste due to the fermentation process. Banku is rich in carbohydrates and provides energy, making it a vital part of the diet for many Ghanaians.
