It is a powdery food material flour made from tuberous roots of the cassava plant, which in the process of its manufacture is changed into dry edible granules.
In Hausa land, such powdery granules are also obtained from the processing of other crops. To make the Garri flour cassava tubers are peeled, washed and grated or crush to produce a mash.
The mash is mixed with Palm oil and placed in a porous bag, which is then placed in an adjustable machine for 1 to 3 hours to remove excess water. Once dried it is then sieved and fried in a large clay frying pot with palm oil.
