The method of preparation is similar to that of banku and tuo zaafi. It has a unique brown color which differentiates it from banku, fufu, akple or tuo zaafi.
Kokonte or konkonte is mostly taken as lunch or dinner and served with groundnut soup, okro stew, light soup, palm nut soup or ground pepper.
