Akple is a traditional staple food enjoyed by the Ewe people of Ghana and neighboring Togo. Made from fermented cornmeal, Akple has a smooth, firm texture and a mildly tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with soups and stews. It is most commonly served with okra soup, pepper sauces, fish stews, and other traditional West African dishes. 

The preparation of Akple involves cooking fermented corn dough in boiling water while stirring continuously until a thick, smooth consistency is achieved. The result is a filling and nutritious accompaniment that forms an important part of Ewe culinary traditions. 

Simple yet satisfying, Akple is a cherished dish that reflects the rich food culture of southeastern Ghana and the wider West African region. 

Cooking Method


  1.  Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. 
  2.  Mix the fermented cornmeal with the remaining 1 cup of water to form a smooth slurry. 
  3.  Slowly pour the slurry into the boiling water while stirring continuously. 
  4.  Cook for several minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. 
  5.  Gradually add more cornmeal if needed to achieve a firm consistency. 
  6.  Stir vigorously to prevent lumps from forming. 
  7.  Continue cooking for 15–20 minutes until smooth and fully cooked. 
  8.  Add salt if desired and mix thoroughly. 
  9.  Shape into portions using a bowl or spoon. 
  10.  Serve hot with okra soup, fish stew, or pepper sauce.
