Add the corn dough and cassava dough into a bowl. Using the finger tips, break up any large lumps and mix together. Add about 750ml or just enough water to mix the dough into a thick fluid consistency.
If you get too heavy handed with the water, let the mixture sit for a couple of minutes. The dough will settle at the bottom. You can then strain off excess water
Sieve the mixture to remove excess chaff.
Add a pinch of salt and start to cook the mixture on the hob.
