KITCHEN CORNER WITH SLEEKMODUPE (RECIPE-MOI-MOI

One of my favourite food is (Moi-Moi or Moyi-Moyi).This favourite delicacy of mine is one of the most traditional snacks in Nigeria and Africa. It’s a steamed-bean pudding made from mixture of washed and peeled and black-eyed peas, onion and fresh groundnuts and peppers it originated from West Africa.

Of course, I learnt how to make it from my mum which is very natural. It is a very common meal while growing up and every average to the elite Nigerian loves to eat this delicacy. It’s been sold on the streets and corners of Lagos and all over Nigeria, it’s cheap and affordable.
