Hi lovelies
It's been a while here
Hustle no gree me see road
So last night, on my way back from work, I wanted to buy 1 fish to make spaghetti this morning
But I ended up buying 3 cos I beat the price down to 2000 for 3 pcs of Titus fish ( this is not the original one popularly called Number 1)
So this morning, I used 3 pieces of the fish to make spaghetti jollof
And I have 9 left
Fast forward to this evening, I wanted to make stew with the remaining fish but the price of tomatoes made me change my mind
I decided to make egusi soup, at least we can eat it with Rice
Yorubas will say " Asa ni je Owo"
me as I take you on a smooth Ride to how I made my delicious pot of egusi soup
Location is Ibadan for doubting Thomases that ll say that I lied about price of what I bought with my money 💰

So the first picture above is my blended egusi
A cup of egusi is 300 and crayfish of 100
I used my qasa blender to mill it♥️

This is okporoko aka eja panda gbigbe
It's a game changer in egusi
I love the aroma it gives my egusi soup
I got it for 250

Make I de-rail your thread


Is that egusi or garri and crayfish ?

This is my ugwu leaf
I got it for 100
Actually the woman selling said she only sell 200
So I had to beg her to split for me since I don't need much for the soup

Palm oil is also 100
I used to buy in bulk like 2.5 liters but

Fish 2000

Pepper mix and ponmo
Pepper 200
Onion 100
Ponmo 200
I used grinding stone to grind the pepper cos there was no light to blend at the time I wanted to cook

Locust beans aka iru and seasoning cube
I have them at home

So I am starting with parboiling my ponmo
Very important
Ask me why

Ponmo is on fire

LoL
It's blended egusi

Fryiing my onion and iru

Now I am frying my egusi

Next I added my pepper mix and ponmo
Please be generous with onion
It takes your egusi soup to the highest level
I kid you not 🥰

I added the fish
Don't use a spoon to turn your soup again else your fish ll pieces
Instead lift your pot and shake the content

Be right back
I want to go and buy semovita

Semo is now cheaper than garri
A cup of garri is 170
A cup of semovita is 200
Semo rise more than garri
