you mean like fresh shrimp or the already dried prawns?

dried prawn or crayfish are great for Ogbono. fresh shrimp is a no no unless you want to try something new

i miss real ogbono with bonga, tinko, magala, dried fish that mom makes

Amaka where u dey

@9ja4eva; na food u won cook @ this hr of d night?

Hellpppp, I have been reading a lot of the posts/recipes here and they all souunnnndddd so delicious. I just had something that was called "suji or semovita" at an african restaurant (it looked like a ball of dough (white) and goat on the side. Can someone give me a recipe for this? Can I also get a recipe on how to cook goat? I am an american and love african food. They don't sell it where I live and I loved it so much that I want more. HELLLPPP!!! thanks.

@ getchinenye
thanks for the okpa recipe

You all kind find quite a few Nigerian recipes on this site: http://www.onlinenigeria.com/recipes/recipes.asp

I've attempted to make it a couple of times, but I think that I am doing something wrong. The chin always turns out too dough-like. It isn't crispy on the inside like it should be. I've adjusted the temp of the oil, but to no avail. Do you know what I could be doing wrong? Or is it just a faulty recipe that someone provided?

Are you using too much liquid maybe too much milk and water?

That just could be the culprit. I did use more than the 2 tablespoons that the recipe called for because I thought that the dough was too stiff.

would someone get amaka back here? the thread's a desrt without her

i guess what a poster said sent her away sha. anyway, you don finish cooking the ones listed?

She go appear one day.

Are there any good cookbooks that any of you would recommend? What are the titles and, if you know, the publishers?

Also, are there any well-known "celebrity" Nigerian chefs?

celeb naija chef's i wish, that would be nice. i've not seen any naija cookbooks here in the U.S., it would be great if there was one though, a collective of recipes from all over naija. Regarding the chef thing i dont know where you stay but here in Texas some of those naija resturant cookers/chefs are really nice, tell them you want to learn how to make a certain dish, some will let you watch them make it and right down the recipe. A person could probably compile a list of recipes that way

Do you know how to bake [b]Birthday[/b] cake!

Darlin Amaka, where have u gone again? You traveeled without your laptop again?? Please come back, we miss you, this thread aint same without you

Got another question:

To be honest i have seen these recipes at another site, but it doesnt matter to me, i need a refresher course everynow and then.  As for where to buy african beans online try this website they have lots of online stores listed on them that might carry what you want.  my cousin lives in thailand so when i cant send her stuff na online she dey go.
