Okay, I will meet you part way. Send 10k for the ingredients, transport and workmanship.

[b]Census market, Surulere. [/b]You can get it in most major markets, just ask those people selling fresh fish and they’ll direct you.



No, I don’t...yet.



Lol. You are welcome.

saucecode:

Unless the AC is only turned on when theres no cooking going on and there is no open flame from the stove or gas, which defeats the purpose of trying to use it to reduce heat while cooking.

This does the job perfectly without need for AC

Ishilove:
Did you indicate it in your initial post? No you didn't

Uziza is actually meant for pepper although I prefer nchawu.

Uziza goes with everything.

eni4real:
You don't like Ugwu leaf?

eni4real:
What is Nchawu?

pocohantas:


I do, but ever since I discovered uziza in okra/ogbono- I haven’t gone back to Ugu.



Scent leaf, Yorubas call it efinrin.

eni4real:

I know Efinrin.. Thanks

Uziza seem to be spicy, right?

OriakuAmara:
the final outcome is not looking appetizing, the ngwogwos don't blend with each other.
freshfish
okporoko
shrimp
small sliced kpomo
are OK
add uziza and cut ur okro into tiny sizes
use a lot of fresh pepper and good amount of freshoil
simple. enough of unnecessary tushing of ofe okwuru

pocohantas:


Pic 1: Fresh shrimps. The small one is N100, the big one is N200. I bought 3 @ N500

Pic 2: Crabs @ 6 for N500

Pic 3: Croaker fish. Didn’t bother asking how much. Just liked the view.

Pic 4: Tilapia fish. Bought 1 @ N1800. I priced her N1000 and she asked me in Yoruba “my daughter, have I annoyed you before?” I replied “rara Ma”, then she said, “price me well na” Anyway, I heard I can get it cheaper elsewhere, but I didn’t want to go far or to a crowded market. She cleaned it too, very nice women.

@ N500 for Six crabs? Jesus! I bought over 13 crabs for just N100 some hours ago...

Can someone tell me the location! Op which market is this ? seems cheap and quality.

I had to show my wife the condiments of your Seafood Okra.

Call me a village man but I am limited to fish, beef, chicken, turkey, button, goat and the worst of me is pork.

nobone:
Nice! But if you taste my okro soup eh! You'll kneel begging for more

ikorodureporta:

commonsensically, it's usually washed, or boiled. So no need for explanation

ggood:
yes

Opiosko:

Yes. Please, don't put potash in your foods because it's unhealthy to do it.

One more important thing is that as a pregnant Lady, you MUST ensure you cook all your foods, especially fresh foods thoroughly.

pocohantas:


No it is not. In fact, I had to reduce the seafood because it would have swallowed my N250 okra. Soups will look so not-put-together when they are cooked newly, as they cool the ingredients will interact and it’ll thicken. This applies to soups cooked with achi/ofo/cocoyam. Don’t always use their hot state to judge the thickness, it thickens as it cools.



It was too much and that wasn’t for me sef. Can you see the okra now?

Ishilove:

You don't do 'commonsensically' while giving a cooking recipe. You have to explain all the processes because people are taking notes.

Did you say 'boil your bitterleaf and keep aside'? Or 'slice your already boiled bitterleaf'?

No. You said 'slice your bitterleaf and onions'. What impression does that give anybody reading your post?

If this was an exam you don score automatic F9.

I have never eaten crabs and will never eat crabs.

pocohantas:


Yes it is.

sawdi:


Thanks. So I can get 3 crabs for 500 naira?

Neobulletzz:

Is there an English name for Uziza?

ezechi24:


This girl you get sense...I sense you'lld know how to talk to strangers...I was expecting you'll lash back like other arrogant girls but you ended up melting my heart...keep it up.

pocohantas:


6 for N500.




I don’t know the English name , but if you are looking for a name that market women would understand, irrespective of tribe- tell them HOT LEAF.

Okay Thanks


I am not always this nice. Just that this is a food thread, I wouldn’t want my bad character to stop you from learning something.
