Vegeta Cocoyam Flour in a 100g pack, the convenient form of the cocoyam that Nigerian cooks use to thicken soup. Instead of boiling and pounding fresh cocoyam, you sprinkle in the flour and let it swell, which gives you the same smooth, slightly heavy body in a fraction of the time.
It is the standard thickener for ofe nsala, and it works in egusi, oha and bitterleaf soups too. Add it gradually and keep stirring, since it thickens as it cooks.
