I've seen some greenish ones and they are usually watery and not that appealing. Do you know some real hausa delicacies that are very appealing? Do they use palm oil at all to cook? Why do we have ibo and yoruba restraunts everywhere in Nigeria even in sokoto but you cannot see any hausa restraunt(beside aboki me tea and suya spots) anywhere outside the hausaland. Lets not even talk about abroad because i've never seen any hausa food served anywhere around here. |

almost all the soups are greenish (dried vegetables). dawadawa is very essential  (i once hated the smell but i started bitting a little bit of it and chew like they do. . . it's not too bad  . it's nice in soups but too  . Goose goose, Pete and Acha are meals I know to have bright color (vegetable oil and tomatoes made it so i guess.Yakuwa, kerikeshi, kuka etc all greenish/darkish but tasty. they hardly or don't use Palm oil in their cooking. ALL vegetable oil. Made sense though (groundnut Pyramid remember that? then i think Okpee is worst than dawadawa though. i love the Zogole salad the most. Overall, i love Hausa soups and their soft tuwon. |

These are two cereal drinks that are very revitalizing. Fura da nono is very popular in the Northern states especially in Sokoto state where it can be taken any time of the day. Kunun Gyada is also popular in the Northern states especially in Adamawa state. Nono is the Hausa word for cow’s milk sold by the Fulani women. However many people prefer to use plain yogurt to mix with the fura and drink. FURA GERO DA NONO INGREDIENTS QUANTITIES Millet or Guinea corn flour 1½ cups Soya bean flour ½ cup Dried pepper (ground) 1 teaspoon Cloves (ground) ½ teaspoon African black pepper (ground) ¼ teaspoon Dry ginger root (ground) 1 teaspoon Corn flour 1 tablespoon Water 2 litters Yogurt or Nono 1 litre Sugar To taste KUNUN GYADA INGREDIENTS QUANTITIES Raw groundnut 2 cups Rice ½ cup Yogurt 1 litter Lime juice 1 teaspoon Water 2 litters Sugar To taste METHOD Mix the flours with all the spices thoroughly. Add a little water and mix to form a thick paste. Mould into medium sized balls. Boil the water for about 5 minutes. Add the balls to the boiling water and continue boiling for about 20 minutes. Remove from the boiling pot and pound thoroughly. Mould into small balls and sprinkle corn flour to keep the balls moist. Serve mashed with Nono or Yoghurt and sugar to taste. METHOD – KUNUN GYADA Wash the raw groundnuts. Add water and grind the nuts to a smooth paste. Strain and boil the extract for about 15 minutes constantly to avoid sticking to the pot and boil for about 12 minutes. Remove from heat and sprinkle limejuice. Stir. Serve sweetened with sugar and yoghurt or evaporated milk |

Why is it that Hausa people are rarely fat? Could it be because of their food? I'm suspecting their food may have less calories than yoruba and ibo foods. 1 Like |
| Re: Hausa Food by omoge(f): 4:47pm On Aug 13, 2008 |
yeah i think less calories too. . . think of it, tuwon is very common among them. it is a light meal. after eating tuwon, i'm always hungry. compare that with iyan or pondo man, that na hell blazer. their meals are lighter than the ones we have in the south/east/west. they also don't add orishirishi to their cookings, imagine ogbono/egusi/stew with just meat or fish? how many of us will eat a meal without meat or fish or orishirishi? the northernal could eat plain soup. |
| Re: Hausa Food by Gamine(f): 4:48pm On Aug 13, 2008 |
hmm, i never really thought about that |

how many of us will eat a meal without meat or fish or orishirishi? the northernal could eat plain soup. I knew it although i never knew they can eat plain soup. Oporoko, eja, etc must full pot before we go chop now, That's why hausas are rarely fat. |

I don't joke with Kunu. In fact I just made some the other day. Very refreshing and wholesome. Getting millet could be a problem since I couldnt find the red type thats so common at home. Had to make do with some kind of tiny kernel variety. oyibos don't seem to eat millet- they use it as birdseed instead. But some stores have the kind used for human consumption. |

| Re: Hausa Food by Queenisha: 5:21pm On Aug 14, 2008 |
I don't care for those their tasteless meatless foods. Their culture that appeals to me is the way they flog would be suitors kai!! they just line them up and flog the living daylights out of them while the drummers are drumming. The wimps are weeded out and the brave one gets the chick Southerners ought to adopt that culture let's get rid of all the shemales attempting to marry wives. If you can't survive ordinary 50 lashes of koboko, how can you handle a whole institution called marriage. |
