Apapransa

Aprapransa, formerly known as 'Akplijii (or Akplidzi),' is a Ghanaian GaDangme (or Ga) delicacy made by heat combining (or blending) roasted maize flour with a holy GaDangme broth known as 'Palm Nut Soup.' 'Palm Nut Soup,' an important base ingredient in the preparation of 'Akplijii,' is an ancient sacred soup of the GaDangme people, and is always prepared as a complement to another sacred corn flour meal called 'Kpokpoi(or Kpekpele)' during a 'Ancient Religious Hebraic Harvest Festival' called 'Homowo.' The GaDangme people introduced these techniques to 'Ancient-Ghana' and taught all the tribes how to make this wonderful 'Palm Nut Soup,' just as the 'Akans' taught all the tribes how to make their delicious soup named "Abunebunu(or Ebunuebunu)."

Aprapransa as a complete supper is not a cuisine that is regularly available on Ghanaian streets or made on a daily basis in the home. The Akan tribe typically serves it on important occasions such as marriage rituals, naming ceremonies, birthday celebrations, family cookouts, and so on. Its name comes from the fact that it is a complete meal with soup/stew that only just a wipe of the hand (prapra wo nsa) to consume.
