Ingredients needed for Abacha recipe
The secret of a tasty Abacha food is to get as many ingredients as possible. We are going to offer you the full list that can make this dish taste complete, and you can decide whether to use a certain ingredient or not. Here is what you are going to need (according to AllNigerianRecipes):

Three handfuls of Abacha *
Two cups of ukpaka (ugba)
300 ml of red palm oil *
Two tablespoons of food tenderiser (powdered potash) *
Stockfish/dry fish/fried mackerel * (at least one type)
Two (red) onions
Ground habanero/cayenne pepper *
Four tablespoons of ground crayfish *
Two flavour cubes (Maggi/Knorr) AND/OR Castor seed paste (Ogiri Igbo) *
Two teaspoons of Calabash Nutmeg (ground Ehu seeds)
Garden eggs and leaves * (you can replace the leaves with spinach)
Three fresh Utazi leaves
Kanda/Ponmo (cow skin)
Salt (to taste, but not too much)

As you can see, there are quite a lot of ingredients, but you really do not have to use them all. However, in order for your dish to really be the true Igbo Abacha, you absolutely have to use the ingredients marked with a star. The rest will certainly make your dish taste better, but the recipe will not suffer significantly if you do not have the unmarked ingredients at your disposal.

Now that that is sorted out, let’s get cooking!....
