This is a quick and easy gluten free recipe which is very popular in my house amongst everyone. Cassava is a nutty flavoured, starchy root vegetable. Its origins are in native to South America and introduced into Africa in the 1500’s. I have Cassava or Mogo as its called in Kenya when ever I fancy something spicy and wholesome. Cassava it’s a major source of calories and carbs for people in many countries. Nigeria, Thailand, and Indonesia are the top cassava-producing countries in the world
