Kilishi

Kilishi is a new version of jerky that originates in Hausaland which consists of most of Southern Niger and Northern Nigeria. It is a form of dried meat, typically made with beef, lamb and mutton, or chevon. It is just like a dried form of Suya and it's produced from slabs of meat seasoned with salt, pepper and spices, smoked and dried.

It is sun-dried to preserve it for long-term storage.
It is a Nigerian delicacy commonly eaten with pap (akamu) and cassava flakes (garri).
