  1. Couscous is a wheat pasta while acha is an actual grain like rice or millet. Some consider it a variety of millet. If in Lagos, try Iddo. The tuwo rice sellers have it. My acha pudding recipe includes orange peel, nutmeg, 2 bay leaves, salt, clove and anise seed. Boil together for about 15 minutes and add coconut milk and creamed coconut to finish. Add sugar and a touch of evaporated milk to taste.

  6. It's actually called 'Hungary' rice, as in the country, and not 'hungry' the feeling. Nigerians mostly make this mistake.
    Acha is my mom's best food, cos she's on a strict diet, I've tried to eat it but really can't. It tastes like garri that is soaked with hot water cos of how garri-like it is.
    I can manage it if it's made in the jollof form with all them carrots, cabbage etc
    Nice one deborah.
