About Gnomi
Salimata Yanogo's N'gnonmi are millet-and-rice fritters sold at Gounghin market in Burkina Faso. Also called maansa in Moore, they are familiar snacks that the report describes as especially popular during Ramadan.
Millet flour and rice porridge give the fritters their cereal character. Sugar and vanilla sugar sweeten the fermented batter, while an optional mashed banana adds a fruity flavour.
The fritters are small individual portions from an oiled mould. They can be eaten on their own, with the millet-and-rice base remaining central to their taste and texture.
