Banku And Tilapia Ghana’s Traditional Dish

Banku and Tilapia is one of Ghana’s most beloved traditional dishes, especially enjoyed by the Ewe and Fante people.

Banku is made by fermenting a mixture of corn and cassava dough, then cooking it into a smooth, stretchy dough-like consistency. It's slightly sour in taste, which pairs perfectly with the spicy pepper sauce.

It’s commonly served with grilled tilapia, seasoned and spiced to perfection, giving it a smoky, mouth-watering flavor. The dish is often accompanied by *shito* (a dark, spicy sauce made with peppers, fish, and oil) or fresh chopped pepper, tomato, and onion sauce.

Banku and Tilapia isn't just food it's a full experience, often enjoyed with friends and family, especially in the evenings. It’s a true taste of Ghanaian culture and hospitality.
