Traditional Food
Great Tasty Feast Of Joy For Your Tummy
thats African remix mother just to let u know
thats interesting i will try and look for this product here in the uk, we have a lot of west african food stores all over london so its not a problem getting our foods.. i aviod palm oil like the plague now.. but nothing tastes like it when cooking our “ewa” !! i miss nigeria when i see this video… nothing like the local “bukas” to get the real taste of home… for those who dont know, a “buka” is a nickname for the local restaurants run by local women ..no ceremony but real food.
Who would I consult about getting some traditional Naija soups on here. Soups such as Egusi, Ogbonno, and Pepper Soup? If anyone have info. on this, please feel free to respond.
omoibile,
There is a type of Palm Oil that I recently began using. It is a Malaysian Palm oil known as Carotino. It cooks, looks, and does all that West African Palm Oil does. The only difference is that it is strictly liquid. The saturated fat is not in it. It is liquid at room temperature. The palm oil I used to buy had to be melted down like shortening or lard. It is that fat that can clog up the arteries. I would like to know if other oils (Olive and Canola) be used to cook W African food?
Palm oil is not very good, it has cholesterol which cause fat that could lead to heart problem if taken too much. Hence our great grannies use just a little for cooking. But we tend to fry a lot and this is not good to do with Palm oil.
Best is, use Olive oil instead of Palm oil which has cholesterol and not good for the heart.
palm oil is very fattening.. i have replaced this with olive oil cooking ewa as it doesnt really change the taste for me .. however because in west africa we have intense heat and people are always on the move, they tend to burn off a lot of that same fat in the way you cant do in western countries as their are so many conviences ..america is an example of that.. just replace stuff like that with lighter ingredients to your taste…
thanks for pointing this out, as the fact is we do eat and cook different foods from the various tribes in nigeria ..we dont have just one food and prepare it one way.. most non nigerians wont understand this fact.
You can also cook okro soup with tomatoe paste/fresh tomatoes as she did.That is yoruba style,most igbos cook it with palm oil and just cutting it, not blending it like she did. Though there is nothing wrong with that.
I think she just used canola or vegetable oil. Only certain types of sauces require palm oil.
great video
Isn’t this dish cooked with Palm Oil? I know that much of the Nigerian/West African dishes I cook often require Palm Oil.
Also, in the West, doctors often warn against cooking with Palm oil. What could you recommend for soups and stews that require Palm Oil?
Thank you
