Achu is a traditional dish from the Northwest region of Cameroon, made with pounded cocoyam to create a smooth, stretchy dough. It’s typically served with a vibrant yellow soup called achu soup, which is prepared with ingredients like palm oil, limestone (kanwa), and a mix of spices, often accompanied by beef, tripe, or smoked fish. Known for its unique texture and rich, earthy flavors, achu is a cherished meal in Cameroonian cuisine, especially for special occasions.
