Ghanaian Tubaani Recipe

Tubaani, also referred to as steamed beans pudding, is commonly eaten in the Northern regions and Zongo communities of Ghana. Tubaani consists of a paste made from beans and water which is then cooked after wrapping the beans paste in the sweet-tasting, aromatic leaves of the Moi moi leaf plant. It is then served with gravy or suya spice and caramelized onions. It is packed with proteins and serves as a great vegan meal. It’s tasty with a capital T!
