Ewa aganyin (Yoruba) (also spelled as Ewa agoyin)[1] is a Yoruba dish commonly eaten in Yorubaland across Togo, Nigeria and Benin. It is also popular as street food. [2] The dish consists of beans cooked until extremely soft and then mashed.[3] Other ingredients, such as bell peppers, onion, ginger, dried chilies and palm oil, are added to form a stew. It is commonly eaten with bread, a popular combination in Africa.
Ewa aganyin is similar to adalu, which is made with beans and corn.[4]
