Step 2
The beans is washed with water and then water is added along with the beans in a pot for it to be boiled....
The beans need to be heated by fire, for it to become soft. Thereby when it is soft, it is easily consumed....

Step 3
While the beans is boiling on fire, i then get my onions washed and sliced into the shape i need....quantity of onions for use is based on individual, for me i like onions alot, so i use 2 bowls....
Then i also get my maggi ready too, and add crayfish to spice it. After peeling off the maggi wrap, i smashed the maggi to powder form........
