Re: Egusi Lumps by Moyola(f): 9:22pm On Feb 26, 2010
Aite!

Try this:
*Get the quantity of the Egusi yu wan into a bowl n season it ('kuz it'd b tasteless once the lump is formed)
*Knead the mixture together 'til the oil comes out {For better result use your hands},
*Mould into lumps. . .small round bits. . .whatever size yu want.
*Then into your cooking pot

Jesoul and Fl,

This is the standard one I know, almost all of them come in two parts - the blender and the food processor. The food processor is the one you use for the egusi. You people's own is dagbo Americana. tongue
Some blenders even have 4 or 5 parts sef.

True! This is another method my mum uses but only when she wants to make ogbono.
I hate it though, too much work.

Lol, thanks Spiked grin. That is definitely NOT "standard" here. Infact I just searched and found my own blender has a second part you can buy online seperately grin I am getting.

I buy my Egusi crushed anyways lol.


Amaka,
Okay I get you now, you mean Chilli powder replicates just the color, not necessarily the taste right? Got ya. I do think the taste of the red oil is absolutely central to it though . . . although I'm also aware that egusi soup comes in all kinds of styles and variations.
Re: Egusi Lumps by Bluemoon1(f): 2:13am On May 25, 2010
i was taught to cook egusi without lumps. i like it that way. i think if u want to get the lumps don't grind it smoothly
Re: Egusi Lumps by kieryn(f): 12:31am On May 29, 2010
Mold your lumps? Add spinach? Wow we all make Egusi soup different. I simply blend it in the blender with little water. Then fry it with vegetable oil. Do not scatter it until it bubbles make sure it on medium heat. Once you scatter it. It should already have lumps. Let it sit for a few then dump it in when the soup boils. Then I add bitter leaves and achi if needed. Sometimes I put achi when I am frying the egusi.
Re: Egusi Lumps by KAYD007(m): 4:51pm On May 31, 2010
