Ingredients

• 3 cups of Egusi
• ½ cup of ground crayfish.
• 1 cup of smoked meat or sliced fish.
• 2 cups water
• ½ cup large crayfish seasoning cube
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg optional
• 1 ground hot pepper

PREPARATIONS

• Put the seeds into a blender and grind. Please note that this is dry blending so you do not need to add water.
• Pour egusi into a bowl. Use a wooden spoon to break down chunks if any. Add in ground crayfish, pepper and seasoning (salt and maggi).
• Add in three quarters of the water and mix into a smoothie paste.
• Add your egg and mix well.
• Add in your smoked meat or sliced fish then stir to incorporate.
• Line your pot with some banana leaves to create a base for streaming.
• Place a banana leaf into a deep bowl and push the centre to make sure it is indented. Put two scoops of the mixture into the leaf then tie with a rope.
• Put in a pot and let it cook for about 60 minutes. Check to add water every 10 minutes so it doesn’t burn.
• After about an hour, your pudding should be ready. Remove unwrap and enjoy. You can accompany it with bobolo/miondo, ripe plantains etc.

        Hmmmm…….. yummmmyyy…… Enjoy!!!
