Benny drained water from the cassava paste by placing her wooden mortar on it after pouring it into a sack.

The next day, she sieved the garri, added palm oil to it and fried it using a frying pan placed on a gas cooker.

Benny’s husband was elated when he came into the kitchen and saw what his wife was doing.

Although she said garri could be cheap in the UK, she derived pleasure in preparing her own to remember her roots.
