How to Make Water Futu & Eru

Water Fufu

Eru

Water fufu and eru is certainly my favourite meal, but it is also the favourite meal of many people across the globe. This delicacy originates from the Manyu people of the Southwest Region of Cameroon. I met the beautiful Cameroonian model, Ms Florence Bisong, and she was glad to take me through the process of preparing this delicacy, which is not complicated at all, perhaps.😋😋
