A Nigerian woman sparked a discussion on social media with a video of her preparing Amala, a traditional African dish, using a microwave.
In the video, the woman is seen pouring Amala flour into a bowl, mixing it with water, and then placing it in a microwave.
After a short duration, she removes the bowl from the microwave and stirs the Amala until it reaches a stringy consistency suitable for consumption. Subsequently, she dips it into soup and eats it.
However, many Nigerians expressed disapproval of her method of using a microwave for this indigenous dish.
Here are some reactions:
Bello Kreb: "You should be arrested."
Moyosoreoluwa: "I can never eat any Amala done like this. Why are you people doing these to my Amala? I was still complaining about the machine, and now this."
TESSY: "It's wrong with plastic rubber. Plastic rubber has chemicals."
