This is a dessert of yoghurt with millet or ground maize. Where nono is the Hausa word for the cow's milk that, traditionally, Fulani women sold. Today, this is more often than not made with yoghurt.
In a bowl, stir together the flours and spices until thoroughly mixed. Add a little water and mix to combine then add enough additional water to bring the mixture together as a thick paste. Take about 2 tbsp of this mixture and shape into balls.
Pour the water in a pan, bring to a boil then add the dough balls and continue boiling for about 20 minutes, or until done through.
Remove the balls of dough from the pot with a slotted spoon and pound thoroughly in a mortar. Re-shape the mixture into balls and sprinkle with cornflour to keep them moist.
Serve the balls accompanied by yoghurt and sugar. To eat, mash the balls into the yoghurt, sweeten to taste and eat.
