Tuo Zaafi is a popular main dish for the people of Ghana. It is most common in the country's three northern regions which are: Northern Region, Upper East Region, and Upper West Region. The dish is usually eaten for dinner, yet some people (for example: farmers and manual workers) like to have it for breakfast or lunch.

Ingredients

The dish consists of cooked Maize dough with a little dried cassava dough and water without salt.[1] Traditionally, it is prepared with millet dough[2] which is indigenous to Ghana's north.[3]

It is mainly eaten with green vegetable soup made from bitter leaves, or sometimes freshly pounded cassava leaves. It can be accompanied, however, with a variety of soups including okra and groundnut soup.
