    I'm from northeastern part of India and this dish reminded me of our traditional village food, the amala that you made is same as we make using finger millet or wheat flour and the eduwu soup looks same like nettle soup, the only difference is we don't add crayfish and locust beans.
    Thanks a lot for sharing this recipe. God bless u.

    American here, I haven't the first clue of the ingredients of what you made or anything but this was amazing to watch. The traditional ways you spoke about and the advice you shared from your uncle still spoke to me on a deeper level, reminding me of my own uncles and aunts. I would love to try this dish one day and to learn more about your culture; adding the memories of your family helped give me just the smallest insight and what I saw was beautiful! thanks so much for sharing!

    Exactly how I was taught by Big Mummies while growing up. We were taught to chop it on a board and we were taught to use the stunted brown as grandma's & big mummies didn't have that westernised kitchen equipment. And even if they were given, they'd never use it. But my parents being from the UK, brought the blender along and we used that. But to make Amala, it's good on the stove, then the hot pot is transferred to the floor with napkins used as a heat buffer while the pot is held with your feet, you vigorously mix and turn the content with your energy optimum to blend the amala smoothly and fluffy.

    Hi, I am growing this plant here in Australia and I would like to make this recipe. Locust bean is carob bean, is yours fermented? How do I ferment it? Is this african dried crayfish? Do i reconstitute it in water first? I also grow my own cassava and am trying your fufu recipe! I usually make it into flour and make a dense loaf from it or sweeten and add coconut cream for a desert. Looking forward to your reply and trying lots of recipes. Thankyou so much.

    • @cheflolaskitchen
      @cheflolaskitchen  Год назад

      Yes, locust bean is carob bean and the one I used in this recipe is fermented. I haven't tried fermenting it myself because the proess is quite long and time consuming plus the smell. Here is a link on how to make it if you're interested www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3550919/#:~:text=Processing%20of%20locust%20beans%20involves,player%20in%20locust%20bean%20processing.

      No, Spinach is not a slimy vegetable so it wouldn't give the same consistency/viscosity as jute/ewedu leaves.
