Cooking Step by Step
Step 1
In a bowl, combine Egusi, Ghanapepper, onions and seasoning cubes… Mix thoroughly.
Step 2
Boil your goat meat with onions and seasoning (+ crayfish, optional) (I don't use Curry and thyme) add Stockfish and washed pomo. Cook till almost soft..
Step 3
In a pot, heat oil… Add grinded yellow and red atarago, fry and then add your egusi in large or small chunks and allow to fry for a few mins. Check the heat, so it doesn't burn..
Step 4
The Egusi would let out a unique aroma when it is properly fried… At this point, add in your meats and stock and allow it to boil for some 5-10mins on low heat without stirring.
Step 5
Stir and add your roasted Panla. after a minute add your oziza leaves and correct seasoning if need be. Add your ugwu leaves and your soup is ready.
Step 6
If you are using bitter leaf, add at the same time with meats..
