Nugbagba or Togolese Fried Tomato stew (ngbagba)

Mostly it will be nice to add fried meat (fried chicken, snailmeat, beek, mussels or adokoin). I love adding powdered fried fish to this soup also and it goes well with rice and beens. This Ngnagba is the base of soups like, fresh fish soup (lanmoumou dessi) Cow feet soup (egnifoti dessi) and more.

The main idea is to fry tomato pure in an oil until you obtain a thick flavorful tomato dipping sauce. This tend to required a bit of oil, but you can adjust your technique based on your taste and diet.

I forgot to tell you that you can add beaten eggs to this sauce and enjoy that tomato scrumble egg with boiled yam or fry potatoes…

Oh and nugbagbga goes wonderfully with french bread especially when you make a sandwich with boiled egg and top it with the sauce.
