Buka Stew (Street-Style Tomato Stew) – The Iya Basira Special

Smoky, spicy, and swimming in rich palm oil, this is the legendary stew you will find at every roadside buka and “Iya Basira” joint in Nigeria. A true street food favourite, it’s slow-cooked with fried peppers, onions, and native spices until the flavours deepen into pure magic.

Best enjoyed with rice, yam, or plantain. It is bold, fiery, and guaranteed to taste like home.
