See the tomatoes a friend and sister of mine got for 3k something. So cheap, right? She said you can even get for less than that amount if you go certain days. Location is FCT-Abuja.

In case you're in Abuja or anywhere, and you need something like this, plus other food stuff, including livestocks( goats, RS, cow, etc) at cheaper rates, I got you covered.

You can buy fresh like this and process by yourself, or I process for you.

Nairalanders, please patronize me.

For the soup, I buy peanuts and mill them at the store. On a low medium fry pan, I toast the milled peanuts. The idea is to add some nuttiness to the taste. In a cooking pot, boil the proteins you intend using (most times, I boil the different proteins separately because they require different times to cook and it is not all stocks you use in cooking). While the proteins are boiling and you have toasted the milled peanuts to a reasonable extent, wash your bitter leaf (I use dry bitter leaves so most times, I soak them earlier). Once they are tender to your satisfaction, add a little palm oil and ground pepper. Allow them to boil to prevent the oil from having a funny taste on your tongue when eating. Once the palm oil is cooked, add your peanut and stir properly. If it is too thick, you can add a little stock. Once it starts to cook, you add the bitter leaf reduce the heat and allow it more time for everything to meddle together.

For the pounded yam, peel the yam and add to a pot of boiling water. Allow the yam to cook and transfer into a food processor using the plastic one (I don't know the name it is called but I mean the thing that rotates inside the food processor). Use the dough option and once it is smooth, transfer into a big bowl and use your spatula (turning stick) to ensure it is very smooth. Put your cling film in a deep soup bowl, cut the pounded yam inside, and wrap well.

Hey coco, like what I got! Midnight munchies.

GboyegaD:


What is amala if not the process by which it is made. Why do you think we have Amala Lafun? Perhaps, you should go to the local market and ask. Perhaps, if you can convince the iya olojas, then you can come back to convince me too.
Regards.

emperorz:
is that a bat pepper soup

Botragelad:

Not funny. Stop stealing images online!
Really, there's no need to stress about proving anything on this thread! Just relax, be yourself, and if you've got nothing to post, just chill and observe.

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Sleekfingers:


You don't know what you are saying.

There is nothing like Amala Lafun.....It is Lafun. But most people ignorantly call it Amala Lafun .
Amala is Amala
Lafun is Lafun

GboyegaD:


Amala is made from elubo which is the product of dried peeled yam. Besides elubo, amala can be made from other products. Plantain can be dried and a powder of same can be made which then can be used to make amala.

Sleekfingers:



And does that make it Amala? ....Amala is simply Amala . The ones make from peel yam.

.anybody calling Lafun or plantain flour Amala don't know what he or she is saying.......

Do you know what they call Pupuru?

GboyegaD:


Pupuru is made from cassava and yes, I know Pupuru. Our tenant and a next door neighbor growing up are from Ikale. So Pupuru is a staple around the house particularly, when they host their meetings with Marugbo (not too sure if this is how it is spelt). One interesting thing is when they start to sing in the evening into the night, it was always fun. Unfortunately, not too many meetings were hosted by them but the few ones were memorable.

Sleekfingers:


That's great. You know it. Yes, the Soup is called Marugbo , it is Ondo state version of Black soup .

I believe you know Lafun is also made from Cassava flour . Which is popular among the Egba people. You will never hear them call Lafun Amala funfun. They simply call it Lafun. Which is the name. So I find it ridiculous when people call it Amala funfun .

Gimme gimme 😋 🤤

Rice looks like it’s made to the perfect glutinous sticky texture

radautoworks:


Yes ma'am! Rice was nice and warm with the coconut milk and mango chilled. Lovely contrast of flavors and textures. I really need to finish the repairs on my house and get back in the kitchen

Inspired by frugal. This thread has been super helpful to me as a bachelor

frugal:


Hahaha looks good. I do noodles when I'm completely out of options. Were you really having that at 5am?

cococandy:


And then you’ll make us some mango sticky rice? Promise?

Maybaby4eva:
It’s another one from the Son of my Father 👌
