Egusi soup is a staple in Nigeria Nature soup made with grounded melon seeds and vegetables. It is a nutritious dish that is perfect for any occasion.
First, I will get my pot ready, then water and spoon.
Ingredients:
Cup of grounded egusi seeds (as you wish it to be)
Then star maggi precisely (I want it to be star maggi because I won’t add salt later)
Vegetables of you choice either (spinach, bitter leaf or pumpkin leaves any of your choice but I will be using spinach)
Scotch bonnet pepper (Ata Rodo precisely for me)
Chopped onions (very important)
Ginger and thyme seasoning
And goat meat or chicken with Ponmo (preferably like that)
How to prepare
Step 1: you put the pot on fire with little water then you add maggi, ginger, meat Ponmo and other seasoning. Cook it for 15- 20 minutes afterward remove from fire and put it aside
