Ila is the favorite Yoruba expression for Okra, and Asepo, this means 'Cooking together'. Ila alasepo formula allows you to cook blended okra soup. In keeping prep of ila alasepo, it is almost always dished up with stew.

The truth is that the certain element, which normally switches into the stew, however now it switches into our soup and helps it be a 'less' soup for the favorite Yoruba folk food. Ila alasepo is also known as 'something you make when you yourself have no money'.


The important factor of cooking a great okro soup is its level of viscosity (meaning how much it draws), that’s the reason why you add akaun.

surprise catch me too

One important ingredient locust beans ( iru) is missing, also the picture presented isn't it, as the okro is either blended or chopped in tiny bits.

but okro is not yoruba food, dats ibo food soup even the name originated from ibo language

Tufiakwa

B.s,what is potash,stew and baking soda doing in okra soup?seriously this is our native food and one very nutritious food which has to be prepared the native way .

Op, took a second look. Realized it ain't all that.. Baking soda?? I've been preparing this soup since I was 10 and never have I ever added baking Soda. And believe me when I tell you this, It is to die for..

You never see something. It's called ila alasepo. The kanda in that soup would be more than enough to make 10 leather sofas.

Someone would finish that soup with eba, grow fat tummy then travel to Italy or Spain to buy Gucci or Armani leather bags or shoes with inferior hide compared to the ponmo in that ila alasepo.

E be lyk say something dey worryt ur head. Must u quote d whole damn thing? For ur mind u r first to comment....u need a brain check. Mschewwww
