What is this Nigerian dish?

Moi moi is a traditional Nigerian steamed bean pudding made from blended peeled black-eyed peas or beans, mixed with onions, peppers, and sometimes fish or boiled eggs for added flavor and protein. The mixture is seasoned with spices like crayfish, bouillon cubes, and palm oil, then wrapped in leaves (such as banana leaves or foil) and steamed until firm. The result is a savory, soft pudding-like dish with a rich, earthy flavor that pairs well with rice or eaten alone as a protein-rich snack or side dish. Moi moi is beloved for its versatility and is a common feature in Nigerian meals, from breakfast to dinner.
