Hello Ma. Sorry pls next time try to steam the meat and fish then use the stock water in preparing the egusi instead of normal water. Just a suggestion we are learning new things every day 😊❣😍
Good suggestion. That's what I usually do but I feel like we all have specific ways of cooking and we shouldn't tell someone what to add or what not to add. As long as it taste good, that's fine. If precious should ask we all to suggest methods, you won't stand it. People will be like "add carrots, add tomatoes, add basil, add Celery, Bell pepper, etc." Unless asked, we should keep our suggestions to ourselves. Before I forget, I love Precious for 1 thing. She uses very few and simple ingredients yet I can attest that her food taste great. I cook most things with simple ingredients like she does and it's great.
We also shouldn't believe so much in meat/fish stock. I use to have same believe too. Like I can't cook certain meals without the stock. That's a big misconception. It makes it sound like vegetarian food isn't good. Food cooked without stock still tastes amazing. As long as you are a good cook, your food will still taste great regardless.
Hello, you look natural and beautiful even without make-up just to add a little bit to the recipe. hope you don't mind. after your mixture is well mixed, add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil before wrapping so as to avoid sticky on the leaf when cooked as i noticed you opened. thanks
I’m getting flashbacks from my childhood watching your videos! Thankyou so much for making them. Please show us how to make bobolo, miyondo, quilli quilli and adaqua!!💚💚
I am very happy to have you to help me. My husband is Ghana so all of this is new to me. This was my first meal by myself. Thanks for the help. I don't like Ghana food BUT I love this.
Just made this, delicious! I used home slow cooked turkey. I used the Nigerian leaf for moi moi to tie mine. I added my potatoes to steam whilst the egusi was cooking. Very delicious
I was told when Maggie is too hard place it on the stove next to where you’re cooking Or on top of the lid Of the saucepan the heat will help make Krushing it easier.
We are so blessed with your channel aunty Precious! I love cooking and trying new recipes. Here everything is well explained and easy to understand !! My Cameroonian Fiancé is the most lucky 😍
I had never tried cooking this and i was so scared of doing it. When i discovered this post, i followed every step as you did it and mone came out perfect. Thanks a lot. Keep up the excellent work. Now i am proup to say i can cook egusi pudding 😆😆😆😆😆😄😄
You really rock. I have watched you for a while and I love all your videos. The humming when tasting your food is the best part for me. Thank you for sharing!
@@PreciousKitchen You are the great grandmother of Cameroon Cuisine online. I first heard of you from a friend who visited us from Sweden about 2 years ago!
I had been in Cameroon I prepared it and I liked much. Missed my favourite dishes of Cameroon. When I see your recepies just now . I am going to try again in Kerala👍
was worried abt the sort of "runny" texture bt it turned out just fine. I'll try makin my mixture lighter jst like that n c...... my fav part of ur vids r wer u taste test😂😂. i mk dat same face,it's like "dang,i cnt believe i made that". Lol. ur a joy to watch precious😊😊
i almost had a problem with my friend one time because she made the texture very ligh when we were cooking. But it came out just fine in the end like here.
Egusi pudding is THE best side dish ever!!! THE best thing to pair it with is BOBOLO!!! I'm originally from Cameroon and this is one of my FAVORITE dishes and would HIGHLY recommend :-)
Thank you for this video. I stumbled on a recipe where the person added garlic and black pepper and that caused my pudding to be bitter. Was so devastated. Will definetely try your recipe ❤
Quick question Precious, whenever I add Crayfish it makes it taste bitter. Can I just stick to making it without crayfish maybe use "maggi crayfish" instead
i just made mine but i forgot the egg, still on fire. I will soon see the result . I had never tried without eggs, hope it won't change the taste. I used baking paper to wrap, since aluminium is controversal... Will let you know on the facebook page cameroonian foodies
Hi Faith, you need a strong leave to wrap Egusi Pudding. So spinach leaves won't work here. You could wrap the mixture in aluminum foil and steam. If you are not comfortable with using aluminum foil to wrap your food, use ramekins: place the mixture in ramekins then cover with foil. Place water in a baking sheet, place the ramekins on the sheet then bake until done. Almost the same way you will bake a cheesecake. It should take about 45 minutes to an hour to cook this way in an oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Let me know if you have any more questions. ❤
@Papa Jose vos explications sont exactes ! La courge dont les graines sont l'egussi, n'est pas comestible ! On récupère juste les graines qui sont ecossées pour la récupération des amandes qui sont les égussis. Je crois qu'on peut remplacer les egussis par les graines de courge commercialisées déjà concassées !
A small controversy here😄 I have heard it translated as " melon seeds" a lot. Lately, I have read " pumpkin seeds" but I know the African pumpkin is different from the American type. In the same way there are several types of melons.
I have a question I know that you can bake koki beans and koki corn in the oven can you do the same with egusi pudding. Can you use plastic cup to make it as well. Has anyone else tried this method
Precious Kitchen some Nigerians do moin moin in a plastic container and put it in the oven. 1st question- Can you do egusi pudding in the oven? 2nd question- Do you think you can use the plastic container method?
ndenecho tracey I think the plastic container is actually silicon, which is safe in the oven. So yes, you can use that method and yes, you can make egusi pudding in the oven.
For people who are just learning to cook these meals now the oven will be difficult for you because these meals take long to cook. Aluminium foil and plastic containers are not good for you.
Rivera Produce Corporation/ African and Caribbean Food Distributors 1278 Produce Row, Los Angeles, CA 90021 They have great price for the egusi. Thank you for the recipe!
Majority of African stores in the States don’t sell banana leaves, I’ve shopped at a lot of them in different states and never found it there. But it’s in a lot of Asian stores. You can’t promote what isn’t true.
I am a Cameroonian from north west religion an that is my traditional meal we Cook it, the species are garlic, Ginger, Bush pepper Bebe and pepper after that you now blend your spices after blend your watermelon seed with crayfish after that you now steam your meat and your fish by adding salt and Maggi with the spices then you put water into the steaming meat and a little bit of oil to boiled after that you remove some water from the steaming meat and add to the egusi and mixed it after mixture you add some water again when tiering you can put you fish in the egusi because if you put it in the egusi why mixing it may got scattered in the mixing bowl after that you now add your egg it may be one or two it depends the quantity of the egusi after adding your egg your mixed again and tied it Cook for 90munite to avoid the raw smell of the egusi after that you put it your oven to heart so that all the water may dry may be is because is not their traditional meal that why she don't no mush about it or is her own way of cooking i

I think she is avoiding ovrr cooked too soft meat. Meat abroad isnt hard and natural as meat back homr
Hello, you look natural and beautiful even without make-up
just to add a little bit to the recipe. hope you don't mind. after your mixture is well mixed, add 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil before wrapping so as to avoid sticky on the leaf when cooked as i noticed you opened. thanks

I was told when Maggie is too hard place it on the stove next to where you’re cooking Or on top of the lid Of the saucepan the heat will help make Krushing it easier.
Grinding d maggie in a dry mill blender is also a short cut to it.
The banana leaves adds a big flavour to the egusi pudding . Really love your style of cooking
We are so blessed with your channel aunty Precious! I love cooking and trying new recipes. Here everything is well explained and easy to understand !! My Cameroonian Fiancé is the most lucky 😍
I guess this meal is good for diabetics, right ?
My secret ingredient for pudding is bush pepper. Try it
That’s true it’s an important ingredient in Egusi pudding .
U are very correct.it leaves a good favour.I love using it each time I cook anything egussi,be it pudding or soup
You are right
Even white pepper makes sense with egusi
Are you referring to Black pepper?
Missing my mom so much, feel lk gox home. Thks sis 4 e video

Hahaha. precious. You and your sounds.we love it though😂😂😂

They're plastic not good for cooking
Precious, cani add warm water instead of normal water?
Ube Joan yes you can.
I just made mine but unfortunately water entered inside d pudding 😠 but it's taste good.
Thanks for d recipe Precious will do better next time
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
how do u tie inside foil paper
Please ma is the water cold or luke warmth?.
Cold.
I.made mine but it was bitter after I cooked for 2hrs. Why was that?
Hi, maybe the egusi was bad. Hope this helps.
Can i use the green egusi for my pudding?
Yes you can. The egusi pudding will look greenish but that's okay.
Okay thank you, you are my model
Girl just be careful of that green egusi cuz it is sometimes bitter.
I have a question I know that you can bake koki beans and koki corn in the oven can you do the same with egusi pudding. Can you use plastic cup to make it as well. Has anyone else tried this method
