If you’re all about traditional Nigerian meals or just love diving into wholesome, home-cooked recipes, then Igbangwu (also known as Ukpo Oka) is definitely one you’ve got to try!
In her latest video, Raphiat’s Lifestyle is giving us the inside scoop on how to make this beloved Igbo corn pudding. It’s got that earthy, comforting flavour that’s just perfect for a cosy meal.
Made from corn and steamed to perfection, Igbangwu is soft, hearty, and delicious, and the best part is, you can top it with a rich drizzle of palm oil or spicy sauce to kick things up a notch.
She kicks things off by blending dried corn into a fine flour, then mixes it with warm water and other goodies to form a silky batter. After a bit of gentle stirring, it’s poured into a steel plate and steamed until it thickens into a warm, pudding-like delight that’s both gluten-free and fibre-rich.
Whether you’re reconnecting with your roots or just curious about Nigerian cuisine, this dish is like a warm hug from home.
