In this article, we will discuss the history of Domoda, its ingredients, and a step-by-step guide on how to prepare this delicious meal.

    Domoda

    A friend of mine moved to Gambia and told me about this amazing dish called Domoda. The dish is called Domoda in Wolof and Durango in Mandingo. It is said to be the most popular dish in the country.

    When my friend moved back to the U.S. they made the dish for me and it was absolutely delicious. The recipe that I’m sharing with you is the same recipe that was given to me.

    It’s a suprisingly easy dish to make with most of the ingredients going straight into a blender.

    One of the unique ingredients in this dish is the addition of peanut butter. But, you can’t use just any peanut butter, it has to be natural peanut butter. The reason for using natural peanut butter is because the oil separates from the peanut butter, which is important because the peanut oil enhances the flavor of the dish.
