Description

Tubaani, also known as steamed black-eyed peas pudding, is a traditional dish from Northern Ghana. It's a nutritious and protein-rich dish made from black-eyed peas flour, often served with pepper sauce and onions. It's a popular meal among the northern communities in Ghana.

Ingredients
  • 2 cups black-eyed peas flour (also known as white beans flour)
  • Water
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
  • Banana leaves or corn husks (for wrapping)
  • Optional: smoked fish or dried shrimp for added flavor
Instructions
    Prepare the Flour Mixture:
  1. In a large bowl, add the black-eyed peas flour and a pinch of salt. Gradually add water and mix into a smooth consistency. If using baking soda, add it to the mixture and mix well.
    2. Prepare the Wrapping:
  2. Wash the banana leaves or corn husks and cut them into squares. These will be used to wrap the bean mixture.
    3. Shape the Pudding:
  3. Scoop a spoonful of the bean mixture onto each leaf square. Fold the leaves to wrap the mixture securely. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used.
    4. Steam the Pudding:
  4. Pour some water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Place the wrapped bean puddings gently into the boiling water. Cover the top of the water with additional leaves and place the saucepan's lid on top. Let it cook for about 20 minutes.
    5. Serve:
  5. Carefully remove the wrapped puddings from the water and unwrap them. Serve hot with fried seasoned tomatoes, onions, and pepper. Enjoy!
