Nice recipe! Amunututu is one of the best vegetable around, better prepared with little bit of egusi (melon). You wont eat this everyday so the little egusi is ok; this goes with all the solids (similar to the red hibiscus - isapa).

Where can I find the seed, need to plant some?

You are making me to remember somebody

I miss amunututu my mum's Favourite. I can't seem to find it in lagos market. Kilode?

That's interesting. So, isapa is red hibiscus.
