Ayayara oka (Steamed maize with Cowpea meal)

Way back during my Uni days, Street food was one of the fastest and most popular food a student could get without having to go through the stress of cooking up something decent after lectures and Stressful practicals. Besides, it was simpler just walking out of your hostel door and Ordering whatever you wanted. One of the popular street foods then was Ayaraya. I remember having to stand in line on a Queue with angry girls waiting for my turn. The best part of the wait was usually when the Ayaraya hawker would take note of how patient i had been on the queue and reward me with Extra Onion with Ugba topping :D .....Total bliss!!!!!!!!!!!

Ayaraya oka is a meal made from a blend of cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata) with slightly ground maize (Zea mays) and vegetables. Cowpea is an important source of protein in both urban and rural Nigeria.
