&w=3840&q=75)
Ghana has its own distinctive fufu, Nigeria has several related staples, Côte d'Ivoire has foutou, Cameroon has preparations such as fufu corn, while the Democratic Republic of Congo has its own cassava-based staples.
The ingredients, preparation methods and even the names can change, but the idea is often similar: starchy foods are cooked, pounded, mashed or processed into a soft, smooth dough that is eaten with soup or sauce.
From Ghanaian cassava-and-plantain fufu to Ivorian foutou and Cameroonian fufu corn, each country brings its own flavour and cooking tradition to the dish.
