Placali sauce okra

Placali is another traditional dish made from fermented cassava bread. It is slowly cooked with water and then placed aside to cool. When served, it will resemble a large dumpling that you pick at with your hands, similar to the foutou. It also has a sour flavor, similar to sourdough bread, and is typically eaten with sauce dishes. This is another something you can only find around noon — look for any local food outlets around midday and you should be able to locate it.

One of the most popular and simple West African soups is okra soup (FetriDessi). It takes a long time to set up. The okra must be cleaned and grated, and the leaves (Gboma or Ogbono) must be rinsed and coarsely sliced. Prepare the meat, smoked or dried fish, and shellfish next. Cooking is quick once the setup is complete. Mutton, cattle, chicken, or pork may all be used to make Okra Soup. Smoked Mackerel, fried tilapia, douevi... are all options for fish. Crab, octopus, crayfish, shrimp, and other crustaceans can be used. Okra is a low-calorie vegetable that is high in fiber, minerals, and vitamins.
