🥣 Ekuru: The Underrated Yoruba Delicacy Made Easy with BeannyGold Beans Flour

If you’ve never had the pleasure of enjoying Ekuru, also known as white bean pudding, you are missing out on a traditional Yoruba delicacy that is as nourishing as it is comforting. Often overshadowed by its colorful cousin, Moimoi, Ekuru stands proudly in its simplicity — a fluffy, creamy, protein-rich meal served with a bold, spicy stew.

Traditionally, making Ekuru from scratch meant hours of soaking and peeling beans by hand. But thanks to BeannyGold Beans Flour, you can skip all that stress and get straight to the good part: eating.

Ready to impress your family with this wholesome Nigerian dish? Let’s dive right in!

🥄 What You’ll Need

✅ BeannyGold Beans Flour
✅ Water
✅ Palm oil
✅ Tomatoes, red bell pepper, onions
✅ Crayfish
✅ Shrimps, fried meat, fish, ponmo (any protein you like)
✅ Locust beans (iru)
✅ Seasoning and salt

👩🏽‍🍳 How to Prepare Ekuru

1️⃣ Prep the Batter

  • Empty BeannyGold Beans Flour into a mixing bowl.

  • Add water gradually and beat with a wooden ladle or hand mixer for about 10 minutes — this step is key! It incorporates air into the batter, making your Ekuru light, fluffy, and perfect.

  • Aim for a consistency slightly thicker than moimoi — not too thick, but not watery.

2️⃣ Steam to Perfection

  • Scoop the batter into foil containers or moimoi leaves.

  • Steam on medium heat for 35 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure there’s enough water in the pot for steaming.

  • Alternatively, you can bake it in the oven if that’s easier.

  • Once firm, set aside to cool slightly.

3️⃣ Make the Classic Ekuru Stew

  • Partially blend tomatoes, pepper, red bell pepper, onions, and crayfish.

  • In a pan, heat palm oil and fry this blend until fragrant.

  • Add shrimps, fried meat, fish, ponmo — any protein you love, cut into small pieces.

  • Season with salt, locust beans, and seasoning cubes to taste.

  • Fry until the stew becomes very dry and the oil separates nicely.

4️⃣ Bring It All Together

  • As Yoruba tradition goes, Ekuru loves your fingers! Flake the Ekuru into the stew, sprinkle a little more salt, and mix thoroughly.

  • Serve hot with eko (agidi) or enjoy as a stand-alone dish.
