Maizena Flour Cake (Djenkoume with Fried Chicken & Stew)

Djenkoumé is Togo's most beloved comfort food — a firm, golden corn flour cake made from finely milled maize flour, slow-cooked to a smooth, slightly dense consistency that is deeply satisfying to eat. MayaMoyo's version comes paired with crispy fried chicken and a rich, spiced tomato stew that create an unforgettable plate. This is soul food West African style — deeply nourishing, intensely flavored, and made fresh in our Gaithersburg kitchen. Available Friday through Sunday on our Weekend Menu.
