Description of Eru wata (water) fufu
Eru and Water Fufu is a beloved traditional dish from Cameroon, particularly popular among the Manyu people of the Southwest region. Eru is a flavorful vegetable stew made from finely chopped Eru leaves, often mixed with waterleaf or spinach to balance its texture. It is cooked with smoked fish, beef, cow skin (kanda), crayfish, and palm oil, creating a rich and savory taste. Water Fufu, on the other hand, is a smooth, elastic dough made from fermented cassava, which serves as the perfect accompaniment to the Eru stew. The dish is enjoyed by rolling small portions of fufu and dipping them into the hearty Eru sauce, making for a deeply satisfying meal.
