Kunun Gyada (Groundnut and Rice Gruel)

Kunun gyada is a light porridge made from blended raw groundnut and rice, usually eaten in the northern part of Nigeria. It is similar to akamu, except that blended rice is poured into a boiled groundnut milk when the later is made by pouring pap into boiled water. The type of soft rice variety used in making kunun gyada is that used in making tuwo shinkafa.
