Domoda (also known as domoda farine or domodah) is a Senegalese dish. Like many dishes from Senegal, this one is also influenced by French cuisine. The name ragout comes from the French, a smooth, tomato-based sauce prepared with vinegar and vegetables, to which flour (farine) is added to thicken the sauce. Domoda is one of the emblematic recipes of Senegalese gastronomy. Alongside dishes such as thieboudienne and yassa, it is a favorite in Senegal. It is consumed mainly in Senegal, Mauritania, The Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Guinea.
