how far can I go in dehydrating the grated fresh cassava, does it need to be supper dry by using cheese clothe to squeeze or can I leave some of water by squeezing it by hand?

Melodie, fresh cassava is preffered for this recipe. You need to squeeze the grated fresh cassava to remove the liquid in it. You may use some cloth to do this.
