Achicha chai!!! This your own. Looks very juicy.

This is one of my village delicacies. It's usually eaten during famine, what we call okochi. Chai! I love this meal eh?

I ate it last in the 90s when we traveled to the villa and grandma packed a lot for us to bring back to Lagos. Since then I've been looking for it in Lagos.

Please, can you drop the recipe for this juicy Achicha. Looks so inviting. Biko.
Oga travel to your village and see things

that's Nsukka delicacy. Nsukka popularised the meal just like ụdị axis popularised abacha

Oga!!! Which Nsukka effing delicacy As early as 80's I ve started eating Achicha made by my mother..
So it's Enugu delicacy sir...
Abacha is also an Enugu delicacy thou Udi people are good at it...

I wonder the Abacha and beans I prepared yesterday, u might theme it Fulani delicacy...

Who dey add Kanda for achịcha?


You did well sha

Ike gwuru nnaa

For those asking it's made with fiofio(or agbugbu).na local beans in the east that beans alone can keep you fill for 24hrs after consumption.Then There is ukpaka creyfish onions,

Truth is this is not a sharp sharp food oh,it takes hours for the beans to done..I mean hours or else you use pressure cooker..The crushed dried cocoyam and be left in water for hours infact the whole process is tedious but always worth it at the end

Aunty okochi means drought/harmattan

The dried cocoyam which is the major ingredient is harvested and dried during the harmattan season due to the high intensity of the sun and extreme low humidity.
It is usually eaten during the rainy season as little or nothing remains during the dry season which is another time for the preparation of the dried cocoyam, except grandma is just saving some for you guys till that time.

Mehn, I am already craving for it especially the type with enough palm oil, oil bean fruit (ukpaka/ugba), plenty pepper and onion. grin grin grin

Well.... I didn't grow up in the village so I can't really argue this. Though my mum told us it's usually eaten during famine period when there's shortage of food.

In my place, we only use scent leave, oil and crayfish. We don't use this small beans like Enugu people.
