Walk with me...

Ingredients needed:

1. Two medium sized catfish
2. Seven to ten pieces of fresh chilli pepper (to taste)
3. A few pieces of Ocimum gratissimum (popularly known as scent leaf)
4. Nutmeg (about four seeds or to taste)
5. Garlic/ginger (to taste)
6. Onions (this is optional for those who desire the onion taste)
7. Salt and seasoning (to taste)
8. Water, and of course your cooking utensils...

Now follow my lead...

First, blend the chilli pepper to taste. Preferably with a hand blender so it doesnt get completely smoldered. Put it thereafter in a plate and go to the next step...

Then, blend your garlic/ginger and crush the nutmeg too. Make a mixture of these items in a separate plate and go to the next step...

Third, prepare your catfish by removing the unnecessary innards and washing it in clean water. Thereafter place it in your pot, put suitable amount of water and allow to boil for around two to three minutes...

Then, add the mixture of nutmeg/ginger/garlic to the steaming pot...

Thereafter, add salt and seasoning (like maggi) to taste...

Then, put in the desired amount of chilli pepper in the steaming pot...

At this point, lift the pot and shake it a bit to allow the items to stir. Make sure you dont stir with a spoon just yet as catfish have a tendency to break and scatter quickly...

At this point, while the pot simmers, wash your scent leaf and tear it up in little pieces by hand. Put the desired amount in the pot and allow to simmer for another two minutes...

Taste the soup a bit and see if any of the ingredients did not come out to taste. If there is need, adjust as necessary...

In another minute, your meal is ready...

Bring down and serve hot...
