Dambu or dambou is a dish native to the Zarma and Songhai of Southwestern Niger made from cereals and moringa. It is consumed at any time but mainly during festive occasions such as outdoorings and weddings. This dish is also common among the Dendi people of North Benin and other West African cities. It is also common in the Zongo settlements where the Songhai and Zarma travel.[1]
