Yam and Egg:

Yam and egg is one of the easiest breakfast to prepare, it has become a fixed breakfast in most African homes, especially Nigeria. Alongside been subtle for the stomach as the first meal of the day, it can also be very satisfying as yam is known for filling up the stomach quite well. The egg which is usually fried spices up the yam and makes it tastier.

Let’s go back to our discussion, plantain and egg is quite easy and fast to prepare. They both go through a frying process with takes just a little amount of time and then boom, breakfast is ready.

Ogi and Akara:

If you haven’t tried this, you’re on a long thing. Ogi (also known as pap) and akara is a typical Nigeria breakfast. As a kid, I remember vividly how my grandma used to prepare Ogi and akara for me; let me not bore you with my story, back to our discussion. Ogi is traditionally processed by soaking grains in water at ambient temperature or with boiled water for 48 – 72 hours. Akara on the other hand is obtained from beans, it is usually soaked in water, peeled, blended and lastly fried in either palm oil or vegetable oil.
