Make somebody serve @ the op the Urhobo /Isoko or Itsekiri version of banga soup wey them tidy with catfish or mudfish from the wild, then run am inside clay pot. Then use starch take knack am. I believe the op go understand the difference between banga soup and bingi soup.

Kfed4ril:
Urhobo eat their banga as soup with swallow while our ofe akwu is eaten as stew with rice and the preparations are totally different.

IDENNAA:
I will suggest when you introduce these dishes you should also give credit to the originators of the food. Before people start claiming things they didn't invent. The reason why we adviced you to call it what the people who made it call it is because we dont want to hear tales by the moonlight of how Uhrobo taught us how to cook "banga" soup. I want everyone to remember that ofe ora, onugbu, nsala , isiewu , Nkwobi , ofe akwu, nni oka na ogbono, ji awii are all food indigenous to Anambra.

cooking this has been on my mind for a while now,tho I don't have mortar and pestle, but that's not an issue as I can always get that or borrow. but because my neighbors know I don't have a gf and at the same time I don't F around, I'm wondering what they will be thinking when they hear pounding coming from my apartment.
@poco is it possible to by pass the whole pounding on the market?? I've not asked b4 so I don't know.

pocohantas:
Yes you can boil till it is very soft and take off the husk with your hands. This would generally be easier when it is “hot”, so goodluck with that.

ii) You can also put in a bowl and pound with anything that can imitate a pestle.

iii) Growing up, my mum never allowed me pound on the floor. The sound is irritating to any normal human. Place a fluffy rag under your mortar. Your neighbour won’t hear, except they are like mine that monitors my cooking to ask for some.

Tapout:
thanks..option 3 sounds better. I still wish it were possible for the palm to be extracted for me in the market. Would make inquires.

pocohantas:
You wash and cook before pounding. I don’t know anyone that will do that for you in a market and I sabi waka market round. Except you visit a palm oil mill and ask them for crushed ones.
Some are in the interior part of some big markets.

But why do men like shortcut like this? The other day I was teaching my bro to make premium stew over a video call. He got tired of frying his tomato blend, poured in the stock and found a way to blame me for his incompetence. So cute and annoying at the same time.

lol...i think it has something to do with our Ego...the way u guys [ladies] feel when someone says "you are doing something like a man would do" if not the same way we feel when the reverse is the case. Tell a guy he does something like a woman and watch his countenance escalate. that's how my mum called me one day to come and learn how to wash bitter leaf, after watching her for a while, I asked her if they sell the already washed on in the market and she said yes...I said okay and ran away. I don't have any problem doing it oh, but the problem is if I'm caught doing it

Tomatoes in ofe akwu is an insult to the igbo ofe akwu recipe.

All this new generation cooks self.

merahki:
Very untrue.
It spoils the taste, big time.
It doesn’t even make culinary sense, adding tomatoes to ofe akwu . We can always improve knowledge sha, so please drop those tomatoes, specialist or not. And make your verdict then.

pocohantas:
You definitely learned to add tomatoes in town, no grandma in the village would teach you that.
