Danwake, also known as bean dumpling, is a dish of boiled cowpea flour dumplings from the northern part of Nigeria. It has little flavor of its own, and is usually garnished with sauce, egg, vegetables, or chili pepper. [1]
Origin
Dan wake originated in Niger, and has since spread to the Hausa-speaking area of northern Nigeria. [1]
Overview
Danwake is prepared by mixing ground cowpeas, kuku ( baobab powder) and potash with water to form a thick paste, which is formed into dumplings and boiled. The dumplings are typically garnished with fried vegetables, oil, Maggi sauce, boiled egg, yaji ( cayenne pepper), or suya pepper. [2] [3] [4] [5]
