Okpa And Dried Fish

How To Prepare Nigerian Okpa

Finally I gave myself the very desired meal.

Okpa

 INGREDIENTS REQUIRED :

1. Okpa flour  (Bambara nut) Note that there are different species of this nut but all         gives you same effect

2. Red oil

3.  Maggi cubes

4.  Habanero pepper

5. Warm water

PREPARATORY PROCESS :

STEP 1.   Sift the already grounded flour into a bowl

          2.  Add salt and maggi cubes and mix thoroughly

          3.  Add enough quantity of  palm oil and mix till the colour turns light yellow

          4.  Add warm water to the mixed flour and stir till lumps disappears

          5.  Add the sliced habanero pepper

          6.  Make sure you already have a boiling water on fire

          7.  Wrap the okpa with either leaf or nylon like I did here

          8.  Put into the already boiling pot on fire and cook with very high heat

          9.   Cook for an hour and check.  You will know if it's done when it toughens in                   and out
