It prepared by slicing ripe plantain and then frying it in hot groundnut oil.

SUYA

This is a very enticing meal completely dominated and prepared by people from the northern part of Nigeria, the Hausa.

It is actually beef barbeque but prepared in a more unique way to give it that special suya flavor.

It is mostly prepared at Nights at famous joints.

Some top players in the market add cabbage, onions and sometimes even tomatoes to their preparation package.

BOLI

This is my favorite. It is just roasted plantain but the mode at which it is being prepared by our African women is very special, trust me.

The best combination for eating roasted plantain in Nigeria include groundnut or a specially prepared tomato sauce.

So that is it, there are a lot more food that could be added to this list but this can get you started.
