I think abula is amala right ? and amala is made from yam so the English name should be yam flour.

I`m not sure if i`m right though

Not really, cant describe it honestly. I had to wait for a friend of mine in his car in Ekiti a few yrs back while he rushed into this joint to eat the abula. I got tired of waiting and went to hurry him up and realised that all the men in the place had removed thier shirts and hung them on the wall so they could enjoy the food, sweaty bastards!!
