Tuwon Shinkafa is a type of Nigerian and Nigerien rice swallow from Niger and the northern part of Nigeria.[1][2][3] It is a thick pudding prepared from a local rice that is soft and sticky, and is usually served with different types of soups like Miyar Kuka, Miyar Kubewa, and Miyar Taushe.[4][5] Two variants made from maize and sorghum flour are called Tuwon Masara and Tuwon Dawa, respectively.[6][7][8] In Ghana, Tuwon Shinkafa is called Omo Tuo.
