  3. This is the third time I’m teaching how to make correct, authentic Ncha for Abacha just the way our mothers did it, the traditional way. INGREDIENTS: • Ose Akpi • Ehuru (Calabash nutmeg) • Efuru • Fresh okra • Palm oil • Ita Ngu • Abacha • Salt • Knorr seasoning cubes • Garden egg • Garden egg leaves • Fried fish • Kpomo • Onions • Ogiri Igbo PROCEDURE: 1. Begin by toasting the Ose Akpi, Ehuru, and Efuu in a dry frying pan over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid burning. 2. After toasting, grind the spices using a mortar or blender, depending on what you have available. 3. Pour the fresh okra into the mortar and pound until smooth. This gives the Ncha a unique consistency. 4. In a small cup or bowl, scoop out 2½ teaspoons of Ita Ngu. Mix it with water and sieve it into the mortar. Stir the mixture gently and continuously for about 3 minutes. 5. Heat up some palm oil until it’s properly hot. You can test this by adding a tiny drop of the oil into water—if it sizzles, it’s ready. Pour the hot oil into the mortar. A sizzling reaction means the oil was hot enough. Stir the mixture continuously for 3–5 minutes, until it thickens slightly and changes texture. 6. Add your Ogiri Igbo and stir thoroughly using your pestle. This adds a deep, local flavor to the sauce. 7. Wash your Abacha properly with warm water and place it in a large bowl or pot. Layer the Ncha mixture over the Abacha. 8. Add salt and seasoning cubes to taste, then stir everything together to combine evenly. Adjust the seasoning if needed. 9. Garnish with fried fish, kpomo, garden egg, garden egg leaves, and onions for that authentic, rich finish. And there you have it, your traditional Ncha for Abacha is ready to be enjoyed! N.B: It’s best eaten with your bare hands 😹because that’s when it truly hits different! #abacha #abacharecipe #howtomakenchaforabacha #ngumethod #africansalad #africansaladrecipe #igboamaka #igbokwenu #ndiigbo #nriigbo #igbofoods #localdish #mazitundeednut #tundeednut
