Hi everyone,

Sorry I had to change my username, couldn't for the life of me remember my old password.

I know I have been MIA for almost a year, but with school and moving countries and starting a new job things have been pretty hectic.
I just thought I'd pop in and say Hi to the folks that made my student days worth while.
Hope you are all still ok?

To those who appreciated the recipes, it was my pleasure.

Someone asked for Banga Soup Recipe

Banga Soup ( With Shaki )

Preparation time: 20

Cooking time: 30

Ingredients
3 fresh palm fruits
50 ml water
500 g beef, cubed
500 g shaki (tripe), cubed
100 g dry smoked fish
10 ml turmeric
15 ml shrimp powder
15 ml Maggi
1 bunch ozusa or scent leaves

Method:
1. Wash and boil palm fruits in hot water for 20 minutes, or until soft. Remove from water and pound with a mortar and pestle for at least 30 minutes, until soft. Pass through a sieve to separate kernels from the chaff. Pour the strained pulp into a saucepan. ( Or you could use the canned stuff).
2. Add beef, shaki, fish, turmeric, shrimp powder and maggi. Cook for 10 minutes.
3. Add water and bring to the boil. Lower heat and simmer gently for 2 hours, replenishing water constantly.
4. When meat is soft and cooked, add ozusa or scent leaves.

Egusi is very high in nutritional value. It is made up of 30 – 40 % protein, and about the same proportion of oil. The oil is cholesterol free.

The news get even better: 78 % of the fat is unsaturated fatty acid, which is protective to the heart. In terms of vitamins, it contains alpha-tocopherol, a component of vitamin E that helps in maintaining smooth young skin and good fertility.

It also contains palmitic, stearic, linoleic and oleic acids important in protecting the heart too, and very small amount of carbohydrate and calcium.

And they wonder why we Igbo babes are so fooooinne!

welcome back and hope being in your new country wont stop you posting these recipes for the rest of us still soldering on studying

A slight variation on the regular fried yam for all u yam enthusiasts.


Ingredients:
Yam - 0.5kg (for a serving of 3 adults)
Palm oil - about 2ml, which is one tablespoonful
Salt to taste
Three medium sized eggs
Chopped onions
Fresh, tomatoes, chopped.
Fresh pepper, chopped.
tomato puree, small quantity.

Procedure:
Step 1: Peel the yam tuber. Cut it up into giant chip sizes (like potato chips for a giant).

Step 2: Rinse the pieces twice and put in a pot. Pour water and boil until tender.

Step 3: When tender, drain in a colander, and blot away any drops from the pieces.

Step 4: Get a bowl and break the eggs into it, and whip them up until frothy.

Step 5: Add a bit of salt to the whipped egg, and place in a wider bowl. Now dip each chip of the yam in the egg mixture and roll it until it is covered completely by the egg mixture.

Step 6: Place a frying pan on low heat and add vegetable oil. Fry the yam chips, turning them when the egg is fried solid, and ensuring that it does not burn.

Step 7: Remove the fried yam pieces from the oil.

Step 8: Mix the tomato puree, chopped onions, chopped pepper, chopped tomatoes in a bowl.

Step 9: Use a spoon to gather any wayward bits of fried egg that might remain in the hot oil. Add the tomato mixture to the oil, and stir fry until tender.

Step 10: Add salt to taste. Add powder pepper to taste as well.

Serving: Place the fried yam chips in a platter. Place the tomato sauce in a bowl.
