Amala is the
Nigerian version of FuFu, though it is made with elubo (yam flour) whereas true fufu is made with fermented cassava flour.
Ingredients:
1.2kg elubo (yam flour)
Method:
Add about 2l of water to a large pan. Bring this to a boil then slowly add the elubo, stirring all the while. Keep adding the elubo until the mixture becomes thick (you may not need all of the elubo depending on how thick you want it).
Once you have added enough of the flour keep stirring the mixture until it is smooth and uniform in texture and completely heated through (you may need someone else to hold the pot as you stir). Serve immediately with a gelatinous stew (draw soup).
