Pancake will do the work this morning.
ReplyDeleteEfo riro with Amala will go down later.
Stella, that's moi-moi I guess.
Stella, okpa is made from a kind of seed that looks like beans. They call it bambara seed
ReplyDeleteIs it the same seed that people snack on the roasted one? It's now packaged in bottles like cashew nuts.
DeleteNo Love and wealth charms, that one you're talking about is called UKWA (bread fruit) in english language. Okpa seed looks just like beans but smaller in size and a slight difference in shape. It's ground into powder and then processed and cooked into this sweet delicacy you see up there.
DeleteI just ate fried yam with dried catfish ,kpomo made with pepper πΆ onions and green beans. So yummy
ReplyDeleteBv SHYLA

Okra is made from Bambara beans, It’s prepared the same way as moi moi.
ReplyDeleteI ate rice and beans
ReplyDeleteHaving beans and bread for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI don't like okpa.
I have never eaten Okpa
ReplyDeleteI tasted it once and didn't like it all, tho I have heard a lot about it. The person who convinced me to eat it said the one I ate was not"sweet" that if I eat well prepared okpa, I will love it but me? Don't think I can try again sha
DeleteBeans and corn when I'm done with laundry.
ReplyDeleteCup of green tea for breakfast as I dey watch my size π later in the day na fufu and afang soup get me.
ReplyDeleteOkpa is very delicious if well made. Nowadays, I don't know the rubbish those sellers mix with it to make it very hard. No longer yummy and delicious.
ReplyDeleteExactly! Very hard like rock, I couldn't go past 2 bites
DeleteThe same you prepare moi moi but it has to be very light when you mix if not it will be like stone
ReplyDeleteThe enugu okpa I was given was tasteless. Never again!
ReplyDeleteHad jollof rice today
ReplyDeleteOkpa is made from Bambara nuts. Its even easier to make than moi moi. Blend the nuts with uziza seeds, preferably without water. Pour palm oil into the finely blended mix, and massage thoroughly till there are no white patches. Pour water gradually, add maggi, crayfish, salt, fresh pepper. I occasionally add sardine but my kids don't like it as its more original without it. I don't know the leaf that is used though. Stir to the consistency and taste you like. Pour into that moi moi waterproof and place in boiling water. Remove when hard and enjoy π
ReplyDeleteDear Anon 13:23, it is a taboo to add any other ingredient(s) to okpa apart from uziza, salt, pepper and palm oil ( and water of course).
DeleteIf I am not mistaken, you can only get the original okpa from Nsukka.
Thank you π
