Bongo

Bongo is a home made yorghut that's make from fermenting fresh milk after boiling and leaving covered for about 3 days. Bongo is an ingredient that was always found in my grandmother's kitchen and used to make sweet fruit yorghut, dippings, addition to recipes aomg other creative uses. Follow the the steps below to come up with home made yorghut.
  • Get ½ pint of milk, boil and let it cool
  • In a clean glass bowl, spread a table spoon of plain yoghurt 9you can buy this from a grocery store nearby to start your process) into the dish surface. You can use more table spoons depending on the size of your dish
  • When the milk is cool, remove the top cream
  • Pour the milk into the glass dish
  • Cover and place in a cool dry area, I usually keep mine on the top of my fridge
  • Leave it there covered for 3 days
  • On day 3, when you uncover you will find your milk gone sour to form a bongo
  • Drain all the excess juices you find floating
And taadaa*** you have you sour milk/bongo/plain yoghurt
For the next making of Bongo use the remaining bongo and spread in the bowl instead of buying from the grocery store.
