Description
El ñame es un tubérculo comestible (como la patata o el boniato) que se cultiva principalmente en África, América del Sur, el Caribe, Asia y Oceanía. La pulpa del ñame puede ser blanca, amarilla, rosada o morada y el sabor varía de dulce a amargo o incluso puede ser insípido. La piel es bastante gruesa y se asemeja a tres cortezas.
Amala ha sido un alimento básico en Nigeria durante siglos. Se cree que se originó en el pueblo yoruba. El pueblo yoruba es un gran grupo étnico originario de África occidental. Amala se elaboraba originalmente con ñame, pero desde entonces se elabora con otros productos con almidón como la yuca y el plátano. Los yorubas suelen comer amala con sopa ewedu y sopa gbegiri.
Amala , también conocida como elubo, es un tipo de harina popular en Nigeria. Se elabora moliendo ñame, yuca o plátanos secos hasta convertirlos en polvo. Amala se puede utilizar para comer una variedad de platos diferentes, especialmente sopa ewedu y gbegiri.
Amala se puede hacer con tres productos principales con almidón: ñame, yuca y harina de plátano verde. El tipo más común de amala se elabora con ñame, generalmente llamado Amala Isu. Amala es un polvo de color marrón claro blanquecino antes de prepararse y luego de color marrón oscuro en su forma de masa. Amala tiene un sabor terroso y ligeramente amargo. La textura de amala es similar a la de la harina de trigo.
Amala es una buena fuente de fibra dietética, que es importante para la salud digestiva. Amala también es una buena fuente de vitaminas y minerales. Algunas de las vitaminas y minerales que contiene amala son vitamina A, potasio, magnesio y hierro. Amala también es baja en calorías y grasas. Amala ayuda en la regulación de la presión arterial, su fibra dietética presente ayuda a la digestión, las vitaminas y minerales mejoran el sistema inmunológico y sus antioxidantes presentes eliminan las toxinas dañinas. Amala también es una buena fuente de energía.
Amala se elabora pelando primero los ñames y luego cortándolos en trozos pequeños. Luego las piezas se secan al sol o en un deshidratador. Una vez secas las piezas, se muelen hasta convertirlas en polvo utilizando un molinero o un molinillo. Luego se tamiza el polvo de amala para eliminar los trozos grandes.
Amala se puede comer de diferentes formas. La forma más común de comer amala es con sopa ewedu y sopa gbegiri. Para hacer amala, el polvo se agrega al agua mientras hierve y se revuelve continuamente para obtener una mezcla consistente, y luego se envasa como una masa. Una vez empacada o servida la amala, se puede comer con sopa ewedu, sopa gbegiri y estofado, que popularmente se conoce como Abula.
Asegúrate de revolver Amala continuamente mientras cocinas. Si no se remueve constantemente se podrían formar grumos. Entonces, revolver durante la preparación es un truco fácil para tener una amala sin grumos.
Asegúrese de que el agua o la harina no sean más que la otra, deben ser iguales para primero mezclarse uniformemente antes de que el calentamiento adicional la lleve a la etapa de masa. La mayoría de las veces, la experiencia ayuda a saber medir el agua y la harina, pero si no eres un experto, es mejor tomar del agua hirviendo, verter la harina en el agua que queda en la olla y luego agregar más agua inmediatamente. cuando notes que el polvo es aún más.
Asegúrese de que amala esté preparada a CALOR BAJA, para que no se queme incluso antes de terminar de cocinarse. Sin embargo, se puede hervir el agua a fuego medio.

We are really pleased, order came really.fast, had emails and a call to confirm delivery, we bought frozen goat, it was really well packaged and still frozen and great quality meat. Made curried goat, delicious. Couldn't be happier, will definitely use Niyis again. Thank you Niyis
Very fresh affordable products, staff are very friendly and never missed to update you if any items are out of stocks and delivery. Amazing place to shop online. Very friendly admin. Highly recommended, satisfied customer 😊😊
Placed my first order late last week and got my delivery today. The goat meat & crab meat looks great as do the turkey wings. Got some spices too. The box was well packed with chiller pouches for the cold stuff. One item out of stock but Niyis are refunding me and kindly sent me some loyalty points and a discount too. Have already placed my second order today as the produce looks excellent - today I ordered some frozen snappers, some Cassava flour to make some bammy cake to go with the fish (I don't care for festival), and some green plantain banana to go with my ackee & saltfish today. Also gave a recommendation to a friend who was here today. The chatline & email responses are pretty instantaneous on-line. A great find!
Everything I bought from Niyi's was fresh and packaging was top notch. Delivery on time, polite and respectful communication with customer. The yam was my favorite as I have had horrible experiences from other vendors paying so much and not getting value for my money... Great team work.
Love this company, brilliant communications, very quick delivery, items packaged extremely well and great value for money. Will differently shop again.
Absolutely excellent, highly recommended seller , always goes out of there way too help out with orders Regards Patricia
