Nigerian Banga soup is a rich, aromatic palm nut stew, deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of the Niger Delta. Its complex flavor comes from a unique blend of native spices like scent leaves, ataiko, and rohojie, simmered with assorted meat, fish, and stockfish. The result is a thick, nutty, and intensely savory dish with a distinct, earthy fragrance. It is classically paired with Yellow Eba, a firm swallow made from garri (fermented cassava flakes) that's been specially fried to achieve a vibrant golden-yellow hue. The slightly coarse texture and subtle sourness of the Eba create the perfect sturdy vehicle for scooping up the flavorful, hearty soup, making for a profoundly satisfying and comforting meal.
