What is this Nigerian dish?

Amala is a traditional Nigerian dish made from yam flour (known as elubo in Yoruba language), specifically from the yam species known as Dioscorea rotundata. It is a staple food in southwestern Nigeria, particularly among the Yoruba people. To prepare amala, yam flour is mixed with hot water and kneaded to achieve a smooth, dough-like consistency. It is then served with various savory soups such as ewedu (jute leaf soup), gbegiri (bean soup), or egusi (melon seed soup). Amala is known for its smooth, elastic texture and is often enjoyed as a main dish for lunch or dinner, accompanied by assorted meats or fish.
