Is Amala & Ewedu A Yoruba Man’s Favourite Meal ? … www.eats.ng

A beloved Nigerian dish, amala is made from yam flour, and it has a smooth, elastic, and stretchy texture when prepared correctly. It’s not just a meal; it’s a cultural experience that combines tradition, community, and flavor in every bite. Its light texture makes it a good choice for all times of the day.

Amala may seem simple, but there’s an art to making it just right. It starts with high-quality yam flour and steaming hot water. Gradually, water is added to the flour while stirring vigorously, creating a smooth, stretchy dough. The end result is a mound of soft, elastic, and delicious amala.

Amala isu is the most common type and is made from yam flour. In some parts of Nigeria, amala is made from plantain flour (amala ogede) instead of yam flour. It has a slightly different flavor and texture. Another variant is amala lafun which is made from cassava flour.

Whichever type of amala you like, it pairs perfectly with a wide range of soups. From the creamy and nutty egusi soup to the silky ewedu and the hearty gbegiri, amala complements them all. The combination of soft, stretchy amala and flavorful soups creates a satisfying meal.
