Sorry for not taking pictures of when I was preparing it.

Make una come join me.

This delicacy is called Dan'wake and its popular among the Northerners.If you are in North and you have not eaten or tasted it,then you are missing.


Danwake is a dish made from beans flour that originated
from Niger which has been
adopted across Northern Nigeria.
It’s very filling and high in
protein! Though I don’t know
what it’s called in English, I
would call it ‘Beans Flour
Dumplings’. This is also one of my
favourite Northern Nigerian
recipes but it’s one of those things
I have to crave for before I can
eat it. Here’s how I like to make it
and what I like to serve it with.
Do enjoy!

Ingredients

1-1 Lemon

2-2 knorr Cubes, 2 or 3 boiled eggs
Yaji (ground Northern pepper to
serve)

3- 1/2 Onion (to serve)

4- Sunflower Oil (to serve)

5- 1 Tablespoon Potash (kanwa)

6- 200g Beans Flour (if you’re
serving one or two people, if
more just double it up)

6- 300ml warm water

7- 1 Spring Onion (to garnish)

Firstly, place your pan on the heat
with water and bring to boil, fill
up the pan about half way. Then
in a separate bowl mix the warm
water with the potash and add it
into the beans flour slowly until
it’s well combined. You need to
have a nice thick yet soft
consistency. You don’t want a
runny mixture. If your beans flour
is already mixed with ground
baobab (Kuka) you don’t need to
add any to the flour. If not you
need to add about 3 Tablespoons.
Mine was already mixed so I
didn’t need to do this. Now the
water should have been boiled by
now and you should still have
warm water with potash left. Dip
your hands in then roll the
mixture into little balls then
throw them one by one into the
boiling water. Keep doing this
until all the mixture is finished
then bring to boil. Make sure the
heat isn’t too much. Leave it open
and keep checking, give it about
10-15mins and voilà!! Done! Serve
with Yaji, knorr cubes, boiled
eggs, lemon and drizzle a bit of
oil over the top and yuumm!!!
Easy peasy guys! Bon Appétit!!!!
