Frequently Asked Questions about TANTIE's Arraw
What exactly is Arraw?
Arraw is a semolina made from millet grains that have been rolled into small pearls. It is a staple ingredient in many West African cuisines, particularly famous as the main ingredient of Thiakry (or Chakri), a fresh and sweet dessert.
What is the difference between Arraw and classic wheat semolina?
The main difference is the cereal used. Arraw comes from millet, so it is naturally gluten-free, making it more digestible for many people. Its texture after cooking is also lighter and airier than wheat semolina.
How to prepare TANTIE's Arraw quickly?
That’s its great advantage! No long cooking needed. Just moisten it with the liquid of your choice (water, milk, broth...) and let it swell for a few moments. A 3 to 5 minute steam or microwave step is enough for it to be perfectly cooked and light.
Can I use Arraw for savory dishes?
Absolutely! Although it is famous for the Thiakry dessert, TANTIE's Arraw is excellent in savory versions. Use it like couscous to accompany a sauced dish (Mafé, Yassa...), or cold as a base for a nutritious and original salad meal.
What makes TANTIE's Arraw special?
TANTIE's Arraw is steam precooked. This process not only allows almost instant preparation in 5 minutes, but also ensures that the grains separate perfectly after cooking, for a consistently successful texture, light and never pasty.
