Step 1

Now, before proceeding to the fire and pot, you first have to get your ingredients ready, chop your onions, wash your meat, wash the fish, wash the periwinkle, grind the fresh pepper, wash and dice the ponmo into smaller pieces, chop the ugwu leave. Now get you pot ready.

Step 2

Steam the meat and ponmo under low heat with some spices (onion, pepper, salt, maggi etc). Get your egusi ready by soaking in cold water to reduce the smell of the egusi.
