Whole sorghum flour is mixed with water into a thick paste and left 12 to 24 hours until lactic bacteria make it very sour. Just before baking the paste is thinned to a slurry and spread thin on a hot oiled pan.
Amounts from a sourceProportions from the FAO flow diagram (60 parts flour to 40 parts water, w/v). Households use no fixed batch size.
Whole sorghum flour60 parts (w/v)
Cultivars with a white, chalky pericarp and no subcoat give the best kisra[fao1999]
Water40 parts (w/v)
Flour to water 60:40 (w/v) for the thick paste; more water is added just before baking[fao1999]

At a glance
Whole sorghum flour is mixed with water into a thick paste and left 12 to 24 hours until lactic bacteria make it very sour. Just before baking the paste is thinned to a slurry and spread thin on a hot oiled pan. Made in 5 steps over 12 h – 24 h. The longest step, ferment the paste, takes 12–24 h (Haard N.F 1999) and runs at 30 °C (Mohammed S.I 1991). Pediococcus pentosaceus (dominant at 24 h and in back-slopped batter), Lactobacillus brevis, L. confusus and Yeasts Candida intermedia and Debaryomyces hansenii do most of the fermenting.
Kisra keeps the sorghum batter thick while it sours and thins it only just before baking it as a flatbread. Aceda and nasha are other Sudanese sour sorghum foods, cooked as a stiff porridge and a thin porridge.
Back-slopped kisraIn a lab study, with batter from the previous fermentation, bacteria level off at about 9 h instead of 18 h, and Pediococcus pentosaceus dominates; lactic acid reached 0.90 % and pH 3.86 by 9 h (Mohammed 1991 thesis).
Safety
Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae were among the bacteria isolated from sorghum batter during a 24 h lab fermentation at 30 °C. In that time the batter pH fell from 5.95 to 3.95 and Pediococcus pentosaceus became the dominant organism.
