What Bofrot is
Fried dough balls, the local name for puff puff.
Bofrot is listed as a bakery item in the Ghana guide, where the index tags it vegetarian. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
Where to find Bofrot
Bofrot is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Ghana. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
The Ghana guide also covers 5 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
