Please if you know the ingredients used in mixing Yaji used by mai-suya and mai-masa, please can you share the recipe. thanks I want to mix the type you'll only find deep inside northern Nigeria. thanks

go to maidiguri in born state sir.

The Main Ingredient might not be found anywhere from the north. Its a kind of pepper which is thin and long when Dried. You'll need it,ginger,salt,seasoning and maybe crayfish if you like. Start by pounding the dry pepper and ginger then add in the salt and saesoning then the crayfish pound till you get the required texture then pack and sieve. There

correct

some add white maggi (ajino-moto)
you can get already prepared one from mallams that sells grounded pepper, ginger, kulikuli e.t.c in wheel-barrow around any vegetable market.

I didn't add Ajino moto cos it isn't healthy

I hate white maggi too, gives most people allergy and makes me lose hair. I'll try to add and experiment with other herbs too, until i make the ultimate yaji.

Most prominent ingredients are dried pepper, garlic, ginger and salt. The whit seasoning is to make it tasty. Any other dry seasoning will do. The cubes don't work because they are moist.

You can also add dried meat. You just pound and sieve it

the cubes worked for me, put them in a fridge, they'll become dry and hard. I did not add garlic and salt though, the crayfish adds enough salt for me. I added oregano, basil and parsley to the basic (ginger, pepper, crayfish and seasoning), it's really nice. thanks
