I don’t understand how I can cook the palm nut for some time and still add my stock, am I not supposed to remove the juice from the cooked nuts or am I supposed to cook the palm nut with the soup?
Hello Nonso, I used pre extracted palm nut juice. If you are looking to use fresh palm nut, checkout this recipe here : http://www.kitchenbutterfly.com/2013/05/17/banga-soup-love-in-a-claypot/
This is not how you cook Banga soup.
we are looking forward to your own recipe :)

hi, please when do you add your meat
Hi sasa. I’m not quite sure u gave the proper directions. U forgot to mention how the palm oil sauce is extracted from the palm nuts. To me that determines the proper colouring and the amount of stock/ water for the the thickening of the sauce.
Hiya NameJ,
I didn’t mention the method of extraction because I didn’t extract it, I bought it already extracted. Oops! I cheated :) You can get them extracted and sold in tins in many African shops.
…or serve with rice!!!! Your site makes it easier for Nigerian men to live alone
Iya!! is that a good or bad thing? lol
Looks tasty. I can’t be here with this hunger I’m feeling right now.
Thanks! You should go and buy the ingredients and prepare it. :)
