Banku & Okro Soup
Fermented Corn Dough with Rich, Slimy Okro Stew
Banku, a smooth and slightly tangy dough made from fermented corn and cassava, is the perfect companion to Ghana’s flavorful okro soup. The soup is thick, rich, and slightly slimy — made with fresh okra, palm oil, garden eggs, peppers, and often loaded with meat, fish, or seafood.
This combo is both hearty and deeply satisfying, delivering bold textures and traditional Ghanaian taste in every scoop.
Best Paired With: Assorted meat, crab, smoked fish, or cow skin (wele), and a cold drink on the side.
