Nigeria Delicacy: Dan wake

Hy all. A week back, i was in the northern part of Nigeria. I decided to visit an old friend, i was given dan wake to eat.

This food is common in the north, although i have been in the north for quite some time and i haven’t taken it before. So i decided to try it out. The food was delicious and i decide to share my experience here. I am sure @TraciC will be visiting Abuja, Nigeria few days from now(although you are selective with food). Ingredients used are:

  1. Beans flour
  2. Cassava flour (bind the bean flour as it contain lots of starch)
  3. baking soda
  4. kuka powder

What can be served with Dan wake

  1. Ultimate Nigeria Stir-fry
  2. Sliced Vegetables e.g Onions, Cabbage, Tomatoes, Cucumber
  3. Eggs
  4. Suya cayenne pepper (yaji)
  5. Sauteed vegetable

I hope you all try it out. In fact some of our local guides @Sagir & @iGana rate the food as their second most consumed

Hi @Abdullahi_cap ,

Thanks for sharing the recipe with us and I`m planning to try it. I have never cooked Nigerian food, so this is going to be my first step to the cuisine of Africa.
