Amala

Amala is a beloved Nigerian swallow made from yam flour (elubo), cooked into a smooth, stretchy dough with a deep brown color and earthy flavor. Popular among the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria, Amala pairs perfectly with richly seasoned soups like ewedu, gbegiri, ogbono, or buka-style stew. It’s comforting, satisfying, and deeply rooted in tradition.
