Nigerian Amala is a traditional swallow food made from yam flour (elubo), plantain flour, or cassava flour. It is a soft, stretchy dough-like staple that is typically served alongside a variety of Nigerian soups and stews, such as ewedu (jute leaves soup), gbegiri (bean soup), and ogbono or egusi soup.

Amala is especially popular in the Yoruba region of Nigeria, where it is a cultural and culinary icon.
