OKPA NSUKKA (BAMBARA NUT FLOUR)

Okpa (pronounced Ọkpa) is a dish prepared by the Igbo  with a type of beans known as Bambara nuts. It is common in Enugu state and classified as a traditional Nigerian delicacy. It is not exclusively eaten by the Igbo, nor is it universal among the Igbo (most-characteristic of Enugu State); other ethnic groups often eat it (with pap or by itself), and it may be that this is most-common (outside Igboland) in Niger State. Other Igbo names for okpa include ịgba and ntucha. In Hausa, it is known as gurjiya or kwaruru.
