Hello Steemians. Its yours @deeambuiltandachie sending this post live and direct from Ilorin, Nigeria.
I VOTE FOR AMALA
Amala is a special food of the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It is made from Yam or Cassava flour. It is a special delicacy in many homes and you will always come across it in many parties or celebration like naming ceremony, wedding, burial, house warming and lots more.
I vote for Amala. Amala is eaten with different types of soup ranging from ewedu, efo, ila, gbegiri, egusi but i prefer abula (mixture of more than one soup). I also love my soup to be blessed with thick ponmo and lots of iru (locust bean).
HOW TO PREPARE AMALA
Amala is very simple to prepare. You need the following equipment and ingredients;
Equipment:
Stove (for making fire)
Pot
