🧂 재료

200 g Elubo (dried yam flour)(Elubo is specifically the dried and pounded yam flour, giving Amala its characteristic dark color. It's different from fresh yam flour.)
400 ml Water(Start with this amount and adjust as needed for desired consistency.)

👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Bring the water to a rolling boil in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. You're looking for vigorous bubbling.
⏱️ 3-5 minutes
2
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually sift the elubo (yam flour) into the boiling water while stirring continuously with a sturdy wooden spoon or a heat-resistant spatula. Sifting helps prevent lumps.
⏱️ 2-3 minutes
3
Stir vigorously and continuously. The mixture will thicken rapidly. Continue to 'pound' and stir the mixture against the sides of the pot to break down any lumps and achieve a smooth, uniform, dough-like consistency. This process is crucial for the texture. Keep stirring until the Amala is no longer powdery and has a glossy sheen, resembling a thick paste.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes
4
Serve hot. Amala is traditionally served as a 'swallow' – small portions are taken with the fingers and dipped into accompanying soups like Ewedu (jute leaf soup) or Gbegiri (bean soup).
