Firstly, the best can be found on the streets of Lagos, Nigeria! So BattaBox Presenter Fluorin YP hits the streets of Lagos to find out where to find and how to cook the best Nigerian snacks.

“Nigerian snacks are so important in this life,” says Fluorin YP. “So today, I will be finding all the best Nigerian snacks and small chops, if you are a foodie and cannot fast for 20 seconds then you are in the spirit with me!”

The best Nigerian street snacks that BattaBox buys in our Lagos video include grilled chicken with tomato and hot pepper paste for N500; egg roll and meat pie for N100 from a street seller cart; groundnuts for N50; Popcorn and groundnuts for N100 best bought from a Lagos street hawker in a nylon bag; fried potato or yam for N10 each; fried plantain; and many more Nigerian snacks.

The variety comes from the different foods and crops we have in the country, that can be used for fresh and cheap ingredients. And prices of the small chops on streets of Lagos, although it’s gone up recently with inflation, average at about N100.

“Akara, Puff Puff, Moi Moi, Egg Roll, Buns, Fish Roll,” says one hungry Nigerian businessman. “They are my favorite and definitely the best Nigerian snacks.”

“Samosa, plantain, potato, Akara, fish and turkey,” says one Lagos trader. “They are my favorite Nigerian snacks.”

The main method of cooking any snack is with a charcoal grill on the roadside, or deep-fried in large burnt pan with plenty of palm oil. And Nigeria may be a hot country, but we like our food also served hot and fresh.

And all Nigerian street snacks are best washed down with Fura de Nunu for N100, which is a white liquid mixture of millet and milk, so it becomes fermented with a thick consistency.

So what are your favorite Nigerian snacks? Gist us in the comments below!

“We get many Swallow in Nigeria, we get Eba, Amala, Semo, and Wheat,” explains Warri Pikin. “But today, we’re looking into Calabar Fufu – very strong Fufu!”

Starches are often called “Swallow” in Nigeria because they are used to accompany soups and other spicy food dishes to help swallow it down. Typical soups are groundnut soup, vegetable, egusi soup, or palm nut soup.

BattaBox visits a Fufu processing factory in Lagos, with piles of cassava, buckets of water, and plantain flour. The process of making the best Nigerian fufu follows some simple steps:

Firstly, peel and soak the cassava tubers in water for at least 3 days. The cassava is then put into a grinding machine and a cassava yeast powder, which is covered in a bucket and left for 30 minutes to rise. The cassava yeast powder is then washed and mixed, and drained. The cassava is then mixed again with water into a white liquid state. After, a wood fire is made, the liquid fufu put into a large metal dish, and cooked, turned, and pounded for 45minutes-1hour. It will then look like the best Nigerian fufu that we all love and know – and packaged for sale and eating!

“The best fufu gives you energry, other fodos do not give energy like fufu,” explains Emmanuel, who has been processing Fufu for 5 years. “That’s why people call fufu – 6 to 6 – because the energy sustains you for 12 hours.”

The peelings and the chaff from the cassava is also used to feed animals.

The fufu is then wrapped is cellophane and sold for 50, 100, or 200 Naira, depending on the size. And the fufu can stay for 2 weeks without getting old.

And then finally, the food is served! And Warri shows us how you roll the best Nigerian fufu with your hands, dip it into the soup – and, you don’t chew, you swallow!

“You just swallow am, you just clear your throat well well!”” explains Warri. “And now my belly don full!”

The post How To Make The Best Nigerian Fufu appeared first on NaijaTube.

Firstly, coat the fresh fish in flour and deep fry so it’s in a tasty batter for about five minutes. Our street chef recommends using plenty of oil and a wood fired heat.

Make sure you can hear that delicious, mouth-watering, crackling sound.

Take a big spoon and then ladle the fried fish out of the oil. But be careful the oil is hot. Nigeria food likes plenty of oil, often palm oil. This will then soften the fried fish and bones.

Fried Fish and Garri in Nigeria used to cost between 10-20 Naira, but in the recent recession, costs have gone up to over 100 Naira. But still, most fresh Lagos street food fried fish and garri will be sold out in maybe ten minutes. Plenty of customers will come when they smell the aroma.

“I like to take two pieces of fried fish and garri because I’m a BattaBox big boy who likes his Nigeria food!” says Warri Pikin.

“Things are very hard in this country o,” says one customer who has come for his Nigeria food. “So fried fish and garri is cheap and plentiful.”

Garri is a popular Nigeria food, a staple, made from cassava flakes. To make the Garri, wash it in water or milk, and then mix with sugar.

“In the current Nigerian economy, this is normal Nigeria food!” says the customer.

Do you enjoy Nigeria food? What do you think of fried fish and Garri?

“The customer care service was not fantastic…the place was neat…the table had cutlery…The place was really nice,” Adeola is impressed.

We can do just about anything for amala, jollof rice, efo riro and of course some mineral to wash it down in one swift motion, followed by a loud sigh accompanied by the caressing of a bursting belly.

So gobbling up the meals isn’t a problem…The question is where are the best places in Nigeria to balance well and chop?

BattaBox has decided to save you time and money by sending our in house foodie, Adeola, to various mama puts (in case you’re ajebo, a mama put is basically a bukka/roadside restaurant, where Nigerians eat lunch, breakfast and dinner) to taste the food for you.

“How can something that looks so good, taste so bad?” Adeola exclaims after sampling some jollof.

Not only does Adeola review the actual meal, she also grades the environment and the restaurant as a whole out of 10 so YOU know the places that serve the most SCRUMPTIOUS meals and the restaurants you should AVOID like the plague!

“They had a gutter there, right in front of the restaurant, that wasn’t looking nice, that was very smelly!” Adeola laments.

We hope this review was useful for you.

The sweet taste of the ripe plantain blends perfectly with the peppery fish making it one of the most popular meals in the country.

BattaBox has been hearing rumours though, about where to find the best boli and fish in Nigeria and apparently the place to search is Port Harcourt.

So BattaBox hit the Port Harcourt streets, to find out from the boli makers themselves…

Where to get the best boli and fish in Port Harcourt and what makes the boli in Rivers State so much tastier than everywhere else?

“If you taste this boli, you will forget this your interview and start selling this boli, it’s a very nice business, you can see people are even patronising us from everywhere,” one man promises as a customer grabs something from the fire.

“We sure can see, they are actually taking the chicken away from it though,” McCreeda says.

“The way we prepare it, the onion…slice it, put oil, pepper…and if you have money, you buy coke,” the same man responds when McCreeda asks him what makes his boli so special.

Have you tasted the boli and fish in Rivers State?

How was it? Was it as delicious as everyone says it is?
