Wasawasa

Rice, Grain and Starch Dishes

Wasawasa is a popular dish eaten in Dagbon and other parts of northern Ghana, as well as in nearby West African countries such as Burkina Faso, Benin and Nigeria. It is made from dried yam peelings called jaling, which are ground into flour and then steamed, and it is most often eaten with spicy sauces, sometimes garnished with vegetables and accompanied by shea butter, raw groundnut oil and fried fish, or served alongside beans, pasta and salad.
