Ah finally found something that's close to home, i been searching and all i was getting was the fancy way of cooking and the west african style🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
great recipe! just a tip, i hope i don't come off as rude. it's not really advisable to stir the okra with a spoon, just occasionally lifting the pot up and swirling it around is enough. you avoid breaking the okra.
Thanks to Temzie Bites for helping me get the cooking process right. I never seemed to get it right. I can fully appreciate the taste of boiled okra now!
Thanx for the recipe. I will definatly try it out. I miss a dish called mrenda. I tasted okra soup at a friend of mine who comes from Guinea and realized that it almost resembled the mrenda in taste. I will try with ugali(fufu) or sima in swahili😊😊.
My first time seeing someone cooking okra like that. I just put everything in the pot and let it cook👌 You can add a few veggie leaves which gives it an amazing taste, absolutely delicious.
Kotoka A ..it's bcoz we want to enjoy the natural taste, pepper alters it..most dishes aren't too spicy.we would rather eat raw chillies instead to spice it up
Sub titles for your ingredients please in your future episodes will help learners like me. Nice side dish with nsiima/nshiima I prepare in winter season when I get a sore throat.
Thanks so much for this video! I'm heading to Zambia soon and look forward to trying this when I'm there. Can you tell me about any other Zambian dishes that are vegan (no meat, fish, eggs or dairy)?
Hi @Normadic Vegan glad you like the video, we have a lot of vegan food here in Zambia for example my personal favorite Chikanda(African Ham) it looks like ham but really it's a root I have a video on it.I can't list all of them down but I can refer you to my website www.temziebites.com check out the Zambian recipes most of them are vegan except about two of them and or you could just check out other videos on this channel -
Thanks so much! I've checked out the recipes on your website. They look great, and I'm really looking forward to trying these dishes when I'm in Zambia!
Will do! By the way, do you happen to know any vegans or vegan associations in Zambia? I would love to meet with them and learn about the local vegan movement there.
The steps to cook it are different in Cameroon.But i ll try youy method.It looks.like it turned out great.Also we usually add smoked fish or meat to the okra soup to eat along with "nshima"☺
Soda helps to soften the okra and it gives it a great taste. It's one of the vegetables that here in southern part African does not require many ingredients to enhance flavour
You can cook without it dear.. But make sure you cut the okra very thin...though it would be that sweet. In the older days you could use the ashes of charcoal but you have to soak them few days before cooking
Actually Soda is when a strong alkali and a weak acid are combined. The resulting salt is that Soda and so this result acts as a weak base. Soda is far from being acidic. Sorry, the science in me could not help correcting that lol!!! Crushing the okra is better. That I agree.

Am Zimbabwean and this is exactly how we cook it and I love it.
This looks amazing, if you want it not to break while cooking dont stir just move the pot side to side it comes out perfect
The same way we make it in Zim am so glad thanks
Thanks for the video girly ❤️🇿🇲

Exactly my dear.......
Thats how they cook in in Southern African countries. where are you from?
One thing i have noticed about Southern African cooking, you hardly use pepper unlike West Africa where pepper is almost compulsory!
Kotoka A ..it's bcoz we want to enjoy the natural taste, pepper alters it..most dishes aren't too spicy.we would rather eat raw chillies instead to spice it up
Yeah it's true we don't use pepper to much like west Africa .
Looks delicious. What happens to the chili?
Very helpful 🤟
had it last night..I love Delele

The steps to cook it are different in Cameroon.But i ll try youy method.It looks.like it turned out great.Also we usually add smoked fish or meat to the okra soup to eat along with "nshima"☺
Here okra is one vegetable we don't mix with meat or fish. I'd like to taste the Cameroon version
Is it ok baking powder???
Why did you use baking soda?
Mmmmm yummy😗
Like vegie soup
Amazing... You didn't use any spice, taste enhancer other than salt... No oil... Just one query... Why bicarbonate of soda was used?
Honestly I have no idea it's just what i was taught
Soda helps to soften the okra and it gives it a great taste. It's one of the vegetables that here in southern part African does not require many ingredients to enhance flavour
@@thandiwejambawa7827 it tastes good even if eaten raw, without any addition. I steal a few when my better half prepares to cook it. ☺
🤣🤣🤣🤣
❤️in USA. What kind bicarbonate soda should I buy. Thanks
Any type would honestly be fine.
Okra should be fried in a little oil first to get rid of the slime. Then continue with your recipe 😊
How much bicarbonate did u put a teaspoon or ?
I used one teaspoon of bicarbonate , you can check the full recipe here wp.me/p8iV4B-1fv
Half a spoon
I like it, okra is the best yummmmmy
🙌🏾🙌🏾 🇿🇲
Similar to okra recipe in south of Egypt and Sudan 🇸🇩
what does the bicarbonate of soda do?
Gabrielle Whaley softens& maintains green colour..same when cooking pumpkin leaves 🤗
Wow....So simple indeed...But no onion??
Can I leave out the bicarbonate of soda or is there any other substitute? 😄
Kamana Rai unfortunately you have to use the bicarbonate of Soda and no I don't know of any substitute let me do my research see if there is any
You can cook without it dear.. But make sure you cut the okra very thin...though it would be that sweet. In the older days you could use the ashes of charcoal but you have to soak them few days before cooking
Nice
Soda is acidic for the body, my advice is to crush okra using blender then cook without soda the results are much better.
Thanks for the tip
Actually Soda is when a strong alkali and a weak acid are combined. The resulting salt is that Soda and so this result acts as a weak base. Soda is far from being acidic. Sorry, the science in me could not help correcting that lol!!! Crushing the okra is better. That I agree.
Guess U used bicarbonate for the colouring.
Malawian thelele uses only the leaves of okra . It’s slimes to eat and really an acquired taste.
Okra always goes down lol
Where is the onion?
It must be tasteless...😂
Okra with..Bicarbonate,salt,tomatoes with its acidity 😅
You don't know what u missing out
I can cook better than you but anyway you tried
What a rude thing to say. Even if you can actually cook better keep your negative comments to yourself
Bad food
Just know you are a life saver to someone today dear🥲
