Native Nigerian Food

1. (IGBO)Pounded yam and Egusi soup

Pounded yam is incomplete without Egusi soup – melon soup. Pounded yam is made by boiling yam and pounding it. Nigerians abroad prepare alternative pounded yam using yam flour but it doesn’t taste like the original pounded yam. Although, the Yoruba,Tiv and Igbo people are known to be fond of pounded yam, some other Nigerian tribes also love this delicious delicacy.

2. (HAUSA)Tuwo Sinkafa

Tuwo Shinkafa is one of the most delicious foods in the Northern part of Nigeria. Tuwo is made by soft rice and spicy sauce. The Hausa tribes love this food and that is why most of them living abroad miss it so much.

3.(YORUBA)Amala and Ewedu soup

Amala and Ewedu soup is classic Nigerian food, mostly eaten by the Yoruba tribes, especially people from Oyo State, but it is appreciated by other tribes.
