What is this Nigerian dish?

Kilishi is a traditional Nigerian dried meat snack that originated from the northern parts of the country, particularly among the Hausa and Fulani people. It is similar to beef jerky but distinct in its preparation and flavor. Kilishi is typically made from thinly sliced beef or goat meat that is marinated in a mixture of spices such as ground peanuts, chili pepper, garlic, ginger, and salt. After marinating, the meat is air-dried under the sun or smoked to achieve a tough, chewy texture. Kilishi is known for its spicy, savory taste and is often enjoyed as a snack or served during celebrations and social gatherings. It's valued for its long shelf life and as a rich source of protein in Nigerian cuisine.
