Kai! Ghana i hail o... this is definitely going in my food arsenal 😜. I decided to try the popular ghana light chicken soup today.. and boi...🤭 the taste is superb. Full pot has finished now now 😀.
Tried making the ghana fufu to go with it but I din’t have fresh unripe plantain and cassava at home, so i used plantain flour mixed with cassava flour.
