Amala — the taste of home, the rhythm of Yoruba kitchens, and the soul of tradition. In this audio narration, we take you deep into the art of making Amala from scratch — from grounded yam flour to the steaming swirl that brings families together. Amala is not just food — it is rhythm, it is history, it is the Yoruba soul served warm. From the smoky kitchens, Amala has fed generations — not only with energy but with identity.
