Amala Swallows Authentic Recipe
Nigerian Amala is a delicious easy-to-make dish that can be used as an accompaniment to any soup or stew.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fine yam flour, sifted
- 5 cups boiling water
Instructions
- To make the amala, start by adding 4 cups of water into a large pot. Cover it with a lid and bring it to a boil.
- Once your water has come to a rolling boil, lower the heat and shoot in all of the yam flour. Immediately start stirring the mixture until all of the ingredients come together.
- Finally, add the remaining cup of boiling water into the pot, cover it, and allow the mixture to steam over very low heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Stir the amala mixture until it is completely smooth and fluffy. You can also alter the consistency of your amala dough during this process.
- Serve spoonfuls of amala with your favorite soup recipe. My amala recipe goes especially well with gbegiri and ewedu soups.
