Your maturity is always disarming. Sword sheathed, anger doused, frown replaced with a smile.

No wahala, Sir. we stay together.

George_D:

fhemmmy,
your reversing your hatred for amala because of that suv deal?

George_D:

fhemmmy,
looks like we're on the same page with that poundo stuff and ogbono. as for the suv, won't i'm sure it'd be a win-win deal when we eventually hit it off

George_D:

pundo + suv! what a sweet combo!

chaircover:

Hot fluffy Amala and ewedu or ogbonna is the best food in the world

George_D:

fhemmmy,
ahhhhh! you better leave the e-thingy for maedan on the ogbono thread.
unless you want our proposed deal to fall through.

chaircover:

Femi you dont know what you are missing.

What do you mean by black amala?

This is the correct colour.

And let me tell you something; having your soup on the same plate as the amala is the best.

Boy you are getting too posh for my liking. I need to take you to Belgium buka in Lagos shapr sharp before you start serving cavier at your parties .

chaircover:

LOl femi. . . . .

You need to marry an Ibadan lady

I dont know the black amala you are talking about o! maybe someone can help here

I dont think you can eat in a buka . . . you are wayyyyyyyyyyy to posh. Na only Tantalisers Amala you fit chop

George_D:

fhemmmy,
there is amala and there is amala. maybe your used to the type made with discarded yam peelings and that's why you dislike it. when you eat the real thing made from real yam flour (not the dead skin) or best still plantain flour you will lick your finger well, well!

George_D:

fhemmmy,
looking back in retrospect, i almost hated amala too years back when i lived in lagos. the common practice was to dry rotten yam and dead yam skin in the sun which is later ground unto flour and used to prepare amala. it was so appalling and you could see it everywhere! tell me what nutrient man can get from rotten yam?
unfortunately as we speak the practice still thrives in a lot of our commercial centres!

Amala (food)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Àmàlà is a thick brown paste or porridge made from yam skin, which had been peeled, cleaned, dried and then blended into a flour.[1] It is eaten in West Africa, primarily among the Yorùbá of Nigeria. Àmàlà is made by slicing yam which is a very popular vegetable in Nigeria, drying and grinding it into yam flour which is then sieved and processed into amala by mixing the powder into boiling water and stirring it to a desired texture. It could be served with a variety of ọbẹ (soup), such as ẹfọ, ilá, ewédú, or gbegiri (black-eyed beans soup).


[edit] Types

There are generally two types of àmàlà. One is àmàlà iṣu, which is derived from sliced, dried, ground and processed yams tubers into yam powder. When this processed yam powder is added to hot water, it gradually turns into a black/brown dough. This can be eaten with a variety of soups (ọbẹ) and vegetables (ẹfọ).

There is another type of àmàlà derived from cassava tubers and referred to as àmàlà láfún. This is commonly eaten among the Yorùbá. The cassava tubers are peeled, dried, ground and sieved to remove any shafts or lumps. This type of àmàlà will usually become a white dough when added to water.
