Abacha (without potash)

I love eating abacha, but after having to buy it from some vendors whose stalls are really far away from where I live I decided to learn to make it myself. I combed through YouTube for potash-free recipes and now I have something that works for me.

Dear Igbo friends, I'm sorry if I have adulterated the abacha recipe. Please forgive me in advance 😊😊

Steps

20mins
  1. 1

    Soak your desired measure of the abacha in hot water and set aside

  2. 2

    Pound or grind ehuru, crayfish and pepper together using mortart and pestle or dry blender

  3. 3

    Drain the abacha and rinse with cold water

  4. 4

    Pour a spoonful of palm oil into your frying pan and set on low heat. Not too hot to bleach the oil, but just enough to make it runny.

  5. 5

    Add the ground ehuru, crayfish, pepper and seasoning cube

  6. 6

    Pour in the abacha and mix thoroughly

  7. 7

    Add your desired quantity of ugba

  8. 8

    Sprinkle some salt to taste and pour your chopped onions, then turn off the heat

  9. 9

    Stir in your chopped lettuce

  10. 10

    PS: Adjust the quantity of palm oil and salt to your taste.
    I also love my onions still fresh and crunchy. Otherwise, you can add it much earlier.

  11. 11

    Food is ready!
    Best served with fried fish (I love mine peppered) and I had a cup of kunu to go with it
