About this

Fufu and egusi soup is a staple dish in Ghana, especially among the Akan and other ethnic groups in the southern regions. Fufu, a dough-like ball made from pounded cassava and plantain or yam, serves as the base to scoop up the thick egusi soup, prepared with ground melon seeds, assorted meats or fish, palm oil, onions, peppers, and leafy greens like spinach. Eaten communally with hands from a shared bowl, it reflects everyday Ghanaian home cooking and is commonly found at chop bars in cities like Accra or Kumasi.
