A few yrs back my first Igbo food was abacha ! My immediate thought was how can something so good only be $1 or n1,000 😳 I loved it so much we went back 3 days in a row after lol. Right away I learned how myself

Steps

20 minutes

1

Take the onion cut into slices and then halves, slice the cucumber and the tomatoes. Boil enough water that will cover the abacha. When water boils turn off and put abacha in so it’s totally covered. After 5 minutes put in siv/strainer set aside. Boil Pomo and let simmer for 20 minutes
2

Chop garlic, scotch bonnets. In the 1 tbsp of oil fry garlic, bonnets, maggi,uda, ehuru/nutmeg. Add the baking powder and water mixture and the palm oil to the frying pan. It should get thick. Add in the ugba and bitter leaf after a minute turn off heat. Add abacha and mix until it is all covered completely. Salt to taste.

Add meat of ur choice. We prefer smoked fish but I have fried chicken. No pomo this time 😢 Enjoy 😉
