Àmàlà is a staple swallow food originating from Nigeria popularized by the Yoruba ethnic group of Southwestern Nigeria and other parts of Yorubaland.[1] It is made of yam, cassava flour, or unripe plantain flour.[2] Tubers of yams are peeled, sliced, cleaned, dried and then ground into flour. It is also called èlùbọ́.[3] Yams are white in colour but turn brown when dried which gives àmàlà its colour.[4][5] It is a popular side dish served with ewédú[6] and gbẹ̀gìrì (black-eyed beans soup), but is also served with a variety of other ọbè(soups), such as ẹ̀fọ́,[7] ilá, and ogbono.[8][9][10]
