Hausa foods are quite delicious. Most of them are pretty easy to make. Few weeks back I added more local Nigerian food recipes to this blog.
I started with Hausa foods. We would then progress to those of Yoruba, Igbo, edo, Rivers, etc. We are going to include all Known local Nigerian foods.
I sent out an email some days back requesting for Hausa food recipes and pictures. So far, I have gotten a couple of them and we are going to start with these Four Hausa food recipes.
Below are images for some Hausa Foods.
There should be nothing less than 20 Hausa recipes on this page and we are going to get there. I would need your help. Send me your Hausa food Pictures and recipes. Let’s make it happen. Via my private WhatsApp line (08035051468).
The picture above was sent by Zars, which is masa/sinasir. Served with ram head soup (romon kan rago)
Let’s return to the day, members of the Nigerian Kitchen sent over via WhatsApp the recipes and pictures.
If you are reading this, then you are also a member. Send me your own pictures of Hausa foods, plus recipes. Thanks.
Dan Wake
The delicious food above is dan wake. I make dan wake with a combination of beans flour, pepper, potash, kuka, etc.
I can make this in about 20 minutes and I usually serve it with ground cayenne pepper, which is also called (yaji), you can also use Suya Pepper alternatively and choice of vegetables.
Here is – How To Make Dan Wake
Masa (Hausa Foods)
I make masa with tuwo (rice). First, you divide the rice into two equal parts. Soak half overnight and boil the other half. Then grind the two and mix. That is just the beginning.
Masa is delicious and usually served with miyan taushe (another Hausa delicious soup). We can also enjoy it with yaji (spiced ground pepper) Here is How to Make Masa.
Miyan Geda (Groundnut soup)
This is tuwo shinkafa, served with a popular Hausa groundnut soup (miyan geda).
This recipe was provided by Grace Goyit. She showed us how to make this delicious soup and tuwo shinkafa (swallow from rice).
I make groundnut soup with ground groundnut and white hibiscus (white zobo) Click Here for Miyan Geda – Groundnut soup.
Miyan Zogale (Moringa Soup)
The soup below is called Miyan Zogale which means Moringa Soup. We all know the medicinal value of the moringa plant.
This soup makes easy the consumption of moringa leaves. This soup is very easy to make and I think you are going to love it.
Here is the link to the article that shows you how to make Hausa Miyan Zogale
Suya (Hausa Foods)
I just made suya, Suya is one of the popular Hausa snacks. You can make it as long as you can find the needed ingredients in your area.
Usually, it was just beef suya, but today we make chicken suya and even bush meat suya. Imagine that 😀

Being an Hausa woman myself I would say that you have done a fantastic job with this recipes. Please how do I get your cookbook. I would like to take my cooking beyond what we get here in Northern Nigeria.
Wow! I have searched the web severally for Hausa recipes and found almost nothing in the past. Thanks for putting this on the web. I am also a food blogger and your follower.
Thanks for the huasa recipes, I recently met an Hausa guy in the UK. I am from the western part of Nigeria and knows almost nothing about northern foods. The guy doesn’t bother me about making his tribal foods since he grew up in the UK and he is very ok with whatever he gets but I just want to learn about hausa foods in case we end up getting married in the future.
Hello chy.Thanks for the hausa food recipes.hmm delicious thou I’m not hausa.thumbs up. Thanks for bringing deliciousness into our kitchens. keep up the good work.
Thanks for the hausa recipes. I have never made anyone of them before but I am going to try them. I would probably start with groundnut soup.

Kudos to you for giving many an opportunity to learn and make good food
You’ve saved a lot of homes
Thank you.
Igbo foods are the best, I don’t enjoy any other kind of foods. but thanks for the recipes sha. It is not bad to learn new things.
Chidi, I am not from Hausa o, but I would love to learn new recipes. I am kind of tired of eating the same kind of foods everyday.
Hi Grace
Yes Chidi, you are right. Hausa foods are delicious. Some people just don’t like the fact that majority of the foods are dark looking. I have lived in the north for 15 years and pratically enjoy all the foods here. I can also make them. I will send you some of my recipes and pictures soon. Thanks for the great work you are doing.
Thank you so much
