   Step 5Make the vori vori

   To make the balls, combine corn flour, cheese, salt/pepper and a little of the broth until the dough is soft and pliable. Roll into balls of desired size.

   Note

   The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together — add more broth if too dry, more flour if too wet.
