Chef Lola, I love how down to earth you are. I could listen to you share memories and learn recipes from you all day. Such a joy to find your channel. Thank you!!
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.
We Also Have Wheat And Millet Especially In The Northern Part Of Nigeria.
I am from India but I don't know why I feel at home here. ❤️
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!
I totally loved every bit of your story telling as you made this delicious soup
This is the best video ever. Girl I’m not Nigerian but I should of been because I looooooooove this food and you found a way to show the recipe in a easy to follow manner. You are a godsend and a blessing. Thank you love
personally I like when people show what their customs are, and keeping up their traditions they love in full force. It's actually very nice to see, please don't change! This soup looks lovely too!
That looks super delicious, love that gorgeous Green color!!
I really enjoyed watching your video, very detailed and clear.
Thanks for sharing, this is great
Look very delicious 🤤 😋 I love Africanfood
Wow! I really enjoy the video, thanks for sharing I will definitely try your method.
I absolutely love your channel!!
Thanks so much for this recipe
It looks lovely. I'm from Malaysia and hardly know anything about Nigerian food. Love your videos. Thank you
The ewedu looks so green and slimy and the almala so smooth and lump free! This recipe bring me lots of memories, I ate this alot in the streets of Lagos 🙈. Thanks for sharing chef Lola ✨❤️
Thanks ma'am
So good to watch you cook one of my favorite dishes. Please what spice do you use to preserve your Alubo or Amala?, cus I make my own Amala powder. And why don’t my Ewedu draw!, I noticed the specie you use for your ewedu isn’t what we have in Northern part of Nigeria
Great job.
Good work and thank you
I love ur video .I want to cook it now
You really look good your skin is glowing I guess from eating d right food
It worked! Thanks really no stress! Had a Good result
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.
I like putting the pot on the floor and stirring it vigorously
The best 👌
I tried it and it worked! Thanks Chef ❤😊🎉
This is Yummy
Well done sis. Learnt something new today and I just subscribe. Everything looks amazing. On point. Well done. 👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you 😊
I’d love to try it.
Please do. I'll be glad to hear your feedback!
This looks amazing! I subscribed because of the fufu recipe and am salvating at everything else🤩 Also.. hands are the perfect utensil, less dishes to wash.
Me too. I searched for fufu and the beautiful lady had the best recipe easy to follow .
Thank you for this.
You are welcome 😊
I have never eaten amala before,i will try it one day.i find the colour appealing
Very nice presentation
Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for this recipe, I'm definitely gonna try it. But I'd like you to share how to cook it without blender while I still have my locust bean and crayfish in it because, I'm a student and I don't have electric blender also, the power supply here is really poor. Also, I searched for your Edikaikong soup recipe but couldn't find it, kindly share it please.
Thank you Chef Lola, you rock!
I enjoyed ur class
Thank you! 😃
Nice one ma
WOW
Chef Lola, sounds like there's a consensus here... eat with your hands the way it's meant to be eaten! It looks so delicious... ❤️
yes you should eat like you normally do without listening to ignorant people😚
Thank you so much.
Eat it with your hands! Forget those people. I am American but I eat the way it's supposed to be eaten.
Oh dear, thank you ❤❤❤
Agreed! We don't have a Nigerian restaurant in my New England town, but we have an Eritrean one that I go to often, and I would never think to ask for utensils... lotta foods just taste better from the hand!
Smiles
Thank you nice comments some people would rather be nasty with rude comments that we eat with our hands
I don’t care about perfect people I grew up eating with my hand I will continue to eat with my hands until I die 😂
This is really nice. Well done.
What are the spices you used to preserve the elubo. Thanks
Yummy. Where are you located? I would love to get my hands on fresh ewedu like that ☺️
I actually grew Ewedu at home in South Africa, now its time to make it.
Yay..go for it 🥰
Here comes my favorite chef on CZcams making me salivate…
Btw, what do you use in preserving the flour, share please.
Thanks dear sister...I used star anise.
We call the leaves ayoyo and the amala is called konkonte in ghana 🇬🇭
Good job 👍, can you share the name of spices you use to preserve you yam flour pls?
Eat with your hands! Those idiots will always find something to criticize. Miserable human beings. The color of green is brilliant. The texture reminds me of okra with its gelatinous consistency. Others are fortunate that you provide unique recipes and detailed instructions for the correct methods of cooking.
Thanks Susan, you trulyhave a kind heart. I love eating my "swallow foods" with my hands and I actually ate the rest with my hands. I just wanted to call out the "perfect ones". 😂
😀👍
Whao. Lovely video. Please can you tell me the preservatives you use for the yam flour. Thanks
Hand mixer for amala is a game changer. Actually for any swallow.
I will give that a try one of these days. Thanks for the contribution. 😊
Really nice looking. By the way how do you marinate your chicken 🐓. Please advise?
I just used this recipe to make my ewedu and it came out so beautiful. Thank you.
Chef lola don't worry aboit people , nothing is wrong with eating with your hands i Trinidad most people do especially with our east indian foods , Ancestors use to eat with their hands🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍,you continue to do what you ars doing .
انا من السودان احب اكلتكن دي مرررة لأنها مثل اكلة حقتنا العصيدة
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for the teaching. I celebrate you. I noticed you used himalayan salt to prepare the ewedu. This really impress me because of the 84 nutrients that are in himalayan salt. Please is goya powder a natural food ingredient? If it is, how can I get the goya powder?
Please what are the preservatives you used in preserving your elubo...yam or plantain flour. Thank you for the detailed tutorial on how to cook the ewedu. I cook mine for five minutes max...and I also blend as smoothie and drink raw.
Thank u sis

Chef Lola i love your explicit explanation. Can you pls tell us the spices you use to preserve your elubo? Thanks in anticipation.
I use Star Anise 🙂
What if tou don't have locust bean can you substitute with Ogiri Okpei?
Mix the yam flour with cold water first like custard and there will never be lumps in the amala.
Nice content. Is it possible for you to make jute smoothies. I know jute is very medicinal but I hardly cook it and am looking for a very easy way to consume it.
Me too
A good one there please what did you use to preserver your amala flour. Thank you.
I see star anise and cardamom pods
Hello thanks for sharing what else did you serve the ewedu with other than the amala?
Hi..you can serve your ewedu with most swallow foods like Semo,wheat etc
What spices do you use to preserve your amala pls?
Can you use dried ewedu leaves?
ملوخيه 😋😋
😀👍
Can you boil the ewedu leaf before blending it
dem nor de add stockfish?
Please what was the last ingredient added to the ewedu after salt?
Please talk more about the spices you put in the elubo, I've stopped buying because of it. Please help!
What is ewedu called in English, so I can look for it in my state. As always your food looks so good Chef Lola
Its called jute leaves
@@cheflolaskitchen thank you. What type of store might carry them? Would they be in Asian grocery stores?
Does salt added to ewedu on fire makes it less slimy?
What is the ingredients you used to preserve your elubo?
This is called ayoyo in Ghana
I've missed you posts, it's been a while.
Make d stew for us now antyyy
Do u add red oil to ewedu?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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.
You don't need to reconstitute the crayfish in water. Just use as is (ground) - Yes, I used the African dried crayfish
Please what spices did you add to prevent the bugs from entering the amala?
I want to preserve my flour, amala and wheat and corn
Also what is potash? I've been hearing of it but my mum never used it so I don't know how it looks
I want try cook this menu, but its so difficult to find the ingredients in my Country, especialy in my island🤣btw im from Indonesia, Sumatera island
I hope the 'perfect' people weren't too mean in their comments. As an Indian, I would love to dip my fingers in some Amala and Ewedu soup :) a spoon is also helpful if the food is hot for those who prefer to eat that way.
what is potash??? what is amala???
Plz ma, list the ingredients
Where can I buy these ingredients online? Also will spinach give this same consistency? And BTW there are plenty of us not so perfect people who enjoy watching you eat with your hands. I love tradition. Ignore the naysayers.
No, Spinach is not a slimy vegetable so it wouldn't give the same consistency/viscosity as jute/ewedu leaves.
Blended/diced okro will give same viscosity/sliminess though.
@@AbisolaFadire thanks
Mrenda if you are from Kenya
Sister mi… is it okay to add crayfish/ njanga in the ewedu
Yes, it adds more flavor profile to the ewedu.
Good job dear! You see that eating with my hands part, hnnnn na you loss o! Me, internet or no internet. I don't care! I will eat my Amala or any swallow with my hands and lick my hands alongside. I must and will enjoy my food to the fullest! To God Almighty be all the glory honor and adoration in Jesus mighty name Amen and Amen and Amen 🔥🔥🔥
Amy, I know right! but these perfect internet people will not allow me to rest. Trust me, I abandoned the spoon after the video production 😂😂😂
Gbam...I agree with you. The real Niger babe...Indians don't joke with that.. I live them for it. They eat even rice with fingers...so enjoyable...
You didn't teach us how to make the stew also
Mrenda
What spices did you use to preserve the elubo?
From what I could see it looked like one of the ingredients was Star Anise. Though I am not entirely sure as I've never made this before.
