Mosolya

Mosolya, also known as Mosolya Kola, is a traditional dish from the Yoruba people of Nigeria. It is a popular street food and is often served as a snack or light meal. The dish consists of a mixture of grated cassava, palm oil, and a spicy pepper sauce. The cassava is typically grated using a traditional grater called a "mosolya grater," which gives the dish its unique texture. The mixture is then formed into small balls or patties, which are deep-fried until golden brown. Mosolya is often served with a side of fried plantains or boiled eggs, and is typically accompanied by a spicy tomato sauce or a sweet chili sauce. The dish is known for its crispy exterior and soft, slightly sweet interior, and is a staple in Nigerian street food culture.
