Water fufu ( fermented cassava squeezed) & Eru is a Cameroonian dish that originated from the South West region of Cameroon. It’s the traditional meal of the Bayangi people. However, due to its richness in food class and good taste, Eru is loved all over Cameroon by both the French and English persons. A lot of people especially from the French part of Cameroon do not know how to cook this beautiful dish.
