Foutou is a local Ivorian 🇨🇮 dish, similar to fufu 🇬🇭 , made by pounding boiled starchy ingredients like ripe plantains and yams until smooth.
There are two main variations: “foutou banane”, crafted with ripe plantains and yam for a naturally sweet flavor ( the one in the video) , and the normal foutou made solely from yam, you can know it easily because of his white color.
Typically, it’s served with a rich soup—such as palm nut, granut, or egusi etc…making for a hearty, flavorful meal that varies by region.
My favorite is the “foutou banane” because of his sweet taste 😋😋
