This is a special delicacy where I come from (Anambra state)
It is specially prepared for every event ranging from traditional marriages to burials etc and can be served with Akpu!
It is prepared with a special ingredient known as ogili (a flavoring made from fermented oil seed and smells like cheese) oh how I love ogili☺️
