How to cook motoho
Ingredients
Sorghum meal 3kg
Tomoso 750ml
Water                          
Preparation

 Mix 3 kg mabele with enough cold water to make a slurry in bucket, stir well. Heat 1-1/2 liters of water to a boil and pour boiling water into the bucket. Stir well and add 'tomoso'. Let sit overnight or several hours. Taste should be sour at this point. Take 'tomoso' out of top liquid (lekoele) and store for next times use in a cool place.

In a large pot, heat about 1 liter of water and pour lekoele off the top of bucket into pot. Heat to boiling. Pour the remaining contents of the bucket into pot and heat to simmer. The remaining liquid is thicker and is called "hlama". Add water if too thick and simmer for about 5 minutes whilst stirring. Take off heat and pour into a clean bucket, dribble a small amount of cold water on top of bucket. This will help keep 'scum' from forming, then serve hot or cold.

  2. Buy motoho from the shop, add half into a clean, sterile mason jar. Then add clean water to fill. I'd say half and half for that store motoho and water. Close the jar, airtight. Store for at least 21 days. It'll turn into tomoso.
    But you must ensure your store motoho was fermented motoho. Or perhaps you can experiment with these others cos some arent fermented, they just simulated fermentation.
    I guess you could also just ask your neighbours for tomoso then give it back after you make your fermented semi-final product (lekoele/hlama) as you retain a sample as per recipe
