Dan wake has become one of the northern Nigerian(hausa) food staple, in fact it has made its way to other part of the country too.Even during those days when i don't have an appetite for eating, it always come to the rescue.
Danwake is eaten by sprinkling dome salt or seasoning cubes, a drizzle of oil , some salad and off course yaji mixed all together. For my recipe today i decided to make it more interesting, healthier and appetizing by serving it with some amazing hearty stir fry salad.
