Owo and Starch

Wash fish and add. Add in seasoning, salt, crayfish, pepper and palm oil. Allow it to boil very well for about 5mins depending on the pressure of your cooking flame. Add very little potash to help it mix properly. Mix little quantity of starch in water and pour into it as thickener. Cover it to boil for 2mins and our owo soup is ready.

NOTE; I usually add periwinkles to my owo when adding fish but today, I do not have periwinkle. It's optional but nice. You can also use garri as thickener in place of starch but I prefer user starch, it gives better results for me.

STARCH; mix your starch with cold water inside a clean pot. Don't let it to be too light or too thick if not it would make the starch watery or too hard, mix moderately. Place it on fire, add few drops of oil (it doesn't need much oil). Keep stirring on fire with a wooden spoon and it would gradually turn into a thick paste that is cool enough to serve as swallow. Pour into a plate and serve with the owo soup. Bon Appétit!
