How to prepare Banga soup with Eba

Firstly you bring your palm nut like half basin depending on how you want the quantity to look like.

• I put my palm nut on pot to boil till its soft.

• Then I padded my palm nut/fruit to extract the oil in it and rinse it with hot water ,then turn in into my pot .

• After that I rinse my freshcatfish with hot water to remove the slime in it , keep it separate.

• Then I put the extracted palm oil into my pot for it to start boiling then I added my salt , Maggi .

• Then I grinded my onion to be very smooth to give aroma (scent)

• Added it and put my shrimp, periwinkle and catfish

• Then added my dried bitter leaf with Banga spice (Ataiko and irugeje local name)available in African store .
