This northern Nigerian cuisine is prepared with the following ingredients:
Three (3) cups of short-grain rice
Two (1) cups of per-boiled rice
Two (2) teaspoons of yeast
½ teaspoon of baking powder
Four (4) teaspoons of sugar
A cup of water
Pinch of salt
Vegetable oil
Onions
STEP 1: Let’s start by placing the rice in a clean bowl and adding enough water inside the rice to soak for more than 3 hours.
STEP 2: Wash the rice properly. Make it look very clean.
STEP 3: Proof the yeast by adding some warm water inside the yeast and setting it aside.
STEP 4: After washing the rice, drain off the water and rinse the rice. Then;
STEP 5: When the rinsing is done, blend the soaked rice with a little water. When done, add the parboiled rice and blend it too.
STEP 6: Mix it together and stir it very well, then add a little bit of small water and stir it until it becomes very soft.
STEP 7: After that, add a pinch of salt, sugar, and the proofed yeast. Stir together until well combined.
STEP 8: Cut the onions into small pieces and add them to the batter. The batter shouldn’t be too thick or too watery.
STEP 9: Cover it up and allow it to proof for more than 2 hours. When it is done, it is time for frying.
STEP 10: Over medium heat, place a frying pan and add a little bit of oil to the pan. Leave the oil to fry for two minutes.
STEP 11: Pour the batter into the frying pan and allow it to fry for 4 minutes. When fried, flip it up to the other side and allow it to fry for 2 minutes.
STEP 12: Take it off the heat, put it inside a warmer, and cover it so that it doesn’t get cold. Then;
STEP 13: Repeat the previous steps until all the sinasir has been exhausted.
STEP 14: Tadaaa! Your Sinasir recipe is ready.
The sinasir recipe is served with vegetable soup (Miyan Alayyahu), pepper soup, and even sugar. You could also eat it with any sauce of your choice—onion sauce, egg sauce, and the like.
Remember to serve hot.
The tastiness of this meal makes it difficult for people not to serve it on different occasions like wedding ceremonies, Eid-El Fitr, naming ceremonies, birthday parties, and many more.
Sinasir is best stored in a cool and dry place like a warmer. It can last for 2 days. It makes it last longer when stored in a refrigerator.
Sinasir is a good source of energy, can help reduce the risk of cancer, prevents obesity, and is a good source of protein.
As you have seen, making Sinasir recipe is very easy and when done correctly, looks very appetizing and tastes delicious. Remember, do not make it too thick or too watery, or else, the batter will scatter in the frying pan.
Now that you know how to prepare Sinasir, tell me in the comments section below your experience on it.
