I love spending time with you. .you have a lovely sense of humour...thanks for your innovative methods that usually helps diaspora people eat like they are back home.
Great tip with the baking soda, I tried it my first time making stew and the results were delicious, I just added a little extra oil ...because fat is flavour nah😂. I am not afraid of oil but didn't want the inconvenience of frying the tomatoes. I still get delicious fat from the beef/oxtail/chicken! Thank you for teaching us!
I was just thinking of how to do an oiless Nigerian stew as I was finishing off the last of my oil laden stew and this pops up on my phone...great minds think alike. The stew looks delicious! Will definitely give it a try.
Hello Flo, you are making me famous! Thank you for featuring our conversation on your video! I appreciate it. The oiless tomato stew looks good and tasty. I hope to give it a try. I guess the chicken broth has natural oil/fat hence making it possible. Baking soda magic is very interesting. You see I learn something new from your videos. Keep posting and sharing your knowledge with us. I hope that someone will looking into importing/exporting Uma leaves or banana leaves. Dalu!
Onyekachi it is baking Soda. It is a typo. They are two different things. Check this out sallysbakingaddiction.com/2015/06/11/baking-powder-vs-baking-soda/
Chibuike you are already famous joor. Yes the.chicken oil makes it even possible. That's why I insist on using the hen because its stock is richer and tastier.
Onyekachi Esther when I uploaded the experiment, some people commented that they use baking powder and it works for them. But I have only tested baking soda.
I had just resolved to stop cooking tomato stew cos of the frying, but this is something I never thought of. Will definitely try it out. Thanks Flo I love your channel. I've used it to learn how to make several tasty meals, it makes me look like a master chef 😎😋
Chi Chi, I am happy to come across your channel. I have been having excess gas in my stomach for about a year, all medications proves abortive. Doctors recommended I cut down on gassy foods and oily foods, but nne kedu kwanu ihe mmadu ga eri. Have been looking for a way to cook my stew without oil and frying and I came across your channel, can't wait to try this when next I'm cooking. I'll also check out your other videos esp the ogbonu soup own. Great job you are doing here. Jisie ike
Chichichikito nne m daalu. 😍 O kwa maka kitchen equipment series. After that we go back to status quo, mmadu adajie ukwu! 😂🤣😂 E no easy! Please prepare and let me know how it turns out.
Naaaaa... I know I’m late to the party and I love you aunty Flo but about oil-less stew is a no-no. If I want to eat stew, I’m coming with my chest!😂. And yes, I’m on keto. God bless you ma. This will greatly benefit millions of people who can’t eat oil but still want to enjoy their stew.
HELLO FLO. I WILL TRY THIS BUT I WILL HAVE TO USE OIL. I AM DOING THE KETO DIET AND NEED FAT. I WILL FRY BACON AND USE IT TO MAKE THIS RECIPE. SOUNDS SO DELICIOUS. THANK YOU BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT.
Omgsh I made this yesterday after watching the video and craving some stew. Can I say it was so nice!!!!! Like literally I'll definitely be making this again and again 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Thank you Aunty Flo x
God bless you. My mom used to embarrass me saying how will I cope in husband house since I only know makeup and not cooking. God has my back; I stumbled on your page and my husband praise me when I get things right looool thank you
Thank you for sharing this receipe my sister,been using oiless stews,sauce and my kids are like,mum!!what's with the oiless stew,even though they enjoy my meals....😂😂😂😂😂.I am an addict with baking soda,mostly Arm & Hammer,it's very healthy,it makes my tomatoes,have this sweet taste,whenever i use it.I even use it to boil my beans too.God bless you my sister.....😁😍😘
Chinelo Ohanyere Chaii.....Chinelo Nwude....na me oooo my sister.So you're also a subbie of our dear aunty Flo....😂😂😂😂😂.My warmest regards to my pumpkins...😍❤💋😁
Thank you for your lovely recepie! I have been following you for a long time. I wonder if anyone knows if there is any healtier but yet tasty way to supstitute the stock cubes? Thank you:)
Nathaliya Cortez I'm glad you love the recipes. Thank you. I have 2 videos for home made stock cubes. They are all natural, check them out: ruclips.net/video/V5osRzMPSQo/видео.html ruclips.net/video/8eHqID8CLmw/видео.html
bonjour Flo! i love this pressure cooker of yours. I am in Abuja Nigeria, could you pls tell me where and how to get this exact type? dalu rinne in anticipation.
Wow...this is amazing, I never thought it was possible, I will definitely try it out because I seriously need to cut down on my oil intake...Great video as usual 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
*the original seasoning nyelu m aka* got me laughing out so loud and I knew I had to take my usual position to watch this video. I'm so going to try this out. The ginger juice is really a nice one. Thanks a lot for always sharing. I learned plenty from this video. Blessings to you.
Thanks for your inspiring recipes, there is always something to learn in your videos. I have a few questions, how long do you recommend broiling chicken or beef in the oven?my oven has just the low or high setting. Do you recommend boiling the chicken or beef before broiling in the oven? Thanks.
adebola ogundehin I'm glad you find the videos helpful. This your great question deserves a video but let me answer as much as I can without writing an essay. Yes for hard chicken I always recommend boiling it first till done before broiling/grilling because it is too hard and if it goes into the oven raw, it will dry out before it is well cooked. But soft chicken can go into the oven raw and come out moist because it cooks in no time. On the other hand, any chicken that I will use to prepare a meal like stew, rice etc whether it is hard or soft chicken I will boil it first because that's the only way to get the stock/broth that will go into the meal I will prepare. The stock is very important for a tasty meal. For this hard chicken, when cooking it with my pressure pot, once the pot is pressurized that is when I hear the shii sound, I turn off the cooker and leave it to sit there for at most 5 minutes then depressurize. With a normal pot it takes at least one and a half hours. When done I just grill/broil in the oven till golden. I turn it around as necessary for an overall golden look. So I do not time it, I go by how it looks because it is already cooked. With the soft chicken, I don't even use a pressure cooker for that one because with an ordinary pot it is done in 20 minutes. If I will just serve the soft chicken as a snack I season and grill straight from raw because I do not need the stock and it will still be moist when done. I wonder how long this reply is! 😂😂😂
All Nigerian Recipes Hahahahaha!the reply is loooonnnnng but I appreciate all the detailed answers. A video will be nice too, please put it in your videos to do list...lol. Thanks for sharing.
AishaZkitchen lol ... splashing of stews has come to stay with us. 😂 The thicker the stew is, the more that happens. I control mine by reducing the heat when I want to open the pot to stir or to add something. Thanks, it's a twist out.
biko i ve always looked at this ur dry blender to see the brand but cant see. i do love the way it blends ur dry stuff smoothly plus its small in size, kindly help a sister with the brand name. Dont finish that deli stew i need me some. Dalu ri nne
LOL @ always looking to see the name. Nne, no need to do onyokometer, I have information about it in the description of every video where I use it. It's Krups Spice/Coffee grinder.
LuvMattaz TV ginger does not really have an alternative (in this case) so you can skip it. Same here, I don't like ginger either but it adds one kind nice taste to tomato stews and Nigerian Moi Moi and that taste is not like ginger taste at all.
Flo I discovered that buillion cubes gives my husband headache beacistof the msg in it what do a sister use I don tire biko. You we grew up using maggi and knorr what are your suggestions? Nyelu nwanne gi aka biko
Melissa Julie O yes MSG allergy is serious. I'm happy the link between the headaches and MSG was made. The truth is that for Nigerian soups you don't need seasoning cubes because the meat, stockfish, dryfish, crayfish, ogiri (okpei and ogiri Igbo) are enough to make the soups tasty. For all other recipes, I have 2 videos for homemade MSG-free seasoning cubes. Here: 1. ruclips.net/video/V5osRzMPSQo/видео.html 2. ruclips.net/video/8eHqID8CLmw/видео.html Hope these help.
Any substitute for the baking powder? The amount of sodium even in that little bit you put will shock you....plus the salt on top. May not be good for hypertensives.
FROST Manz really? 🤤 Some people use edible potash which has it's own bad name. Some use sugar but as an Igbo gal, I won't let my grandma catch me adding sugar to this kind of meal. 😂
I think this is better. The chicken thighs have fat and the broth actually cab have natural oil from that chicken. I'm going to try this. All that oil was becoming too much.
Healing Virtue, LLC for real o. 😂😂😂 It was while testing this recipe that I learnt how just frying does such a good job for the taste of the classic tomato stew. Remove frying and the taste goes so bland that the usual seasonings do not work.
I can’t understand how this is oil less as there is a fair amount of oil in the meat stock! The recipe is good and I will follow the steps but leave out the meat stock and use water instead. The seasoning should be enough to flavour the stew. Thanks

FROST Manz you can use little sugar.
FROST Manz really? 🤤
Some people use edible potash which has it's own bad name.
Some use sugar but as an Igbo gal, I won't let my grandma catch me adding sugar to this kind of meal. 😂
I think I just gained 30kgs! LOL!
This is my favorite food channel on youtube, heck it's one of my favorite channels regardless of category!
RickyboyH Aww thanks Rick for watching. Lol @ virtually gaining 30kg!
I think this is better. The chicken thighs have fat and the broth actually cab have natural oil from that chicken. I'm going to try this. All that oil was becoming too much.
Healing Virtue, LLC yes the chicken oil helps. 👍
I have noticed you don't add curry powder in your meat why?

I can’t understand how this is oil less as there is a fair amount of oil in the meat stock! The recipe is good and I will follow the steps but leave out the meat stock and use water instead. The seasoning should be enough to flavour the stew. Thanks
corrrect soup ma
Yes that is me! I want to loose my baby fat... but I love food🤫
Nanoubonbon yayyy! 💃💃💃
Guess you've left Nigeria. The kitchen is not the one in Nigeria.
hahahahhah abi ohhhhh
Am a naw
Chicken stock has fat
It's not oiless. A lot of oil comes from the chicken.
It's not healthy.
