How to cook Ewedu like a pro. the easy way!  

I am from India but I don't know why I feel at home here. ❤️

I’m here from America in chicago …. I LOVE EATING WITH MY HANDS AND YOUR SUPPOSE TO WITH CERTAIN NIGERIAN FOOD ! Here in 2024 to support u thanks your a great cook !

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.

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!!

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!

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!

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

I'm from Sudan and we love the taste of ewedu but we call it Molokhia and we eat it with Sudanese Kisra. It's very healthy and light on the stomach.

That looks super delicious, love that gorgeous Green color!!

Look very delicious 🤤 😋 I love Africanfood

I really enjoyed watching your video, very detailed and clear.

It looks lovely. I'm from Malaysia and hardly know anything about Nigerian food. Love your videos. Thank you

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.

Wow! I really enjoy the video, thanks for sharing I will definitely try your method.

Thanks for sharing, this is great

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 ✨❤️

It worked! Thanks really no stress! Had a Good result

We call the leaves ayoyo and the amala is called konkonte in ghana 🇬🇭

I tried it and it worked! Thanks Chef ❤😊🎉

Thank you for sharing this post. I have two ewedu plants. I am making it now with dried shrimp. ❤

I absolutely love your channel!!

Eat it with your hands! Forget those people. I am American but I eat the way it's supposed to be eaten.

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.

Delicious

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

Welldone Sis 👏👏👏

I’d love to try it.

I love this . I always have problems making it draw so this does not encourage me to prepare. I will try this method

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!

Thank you for this.

Thank u sis

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... ❤️

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice one ma

انا من السودان احب اكلتكن دي مرررة لأنها مثل اكلة حقتنا العصيدة

Here comes my favorite chef on RU-vid making me salivate… Btw, what do you use in preserving the flour, share please.

I actually grew Ewedu at home in South Africa, now its time to make it.

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 just used this recipe to make my ewedu and it came out so beautiful. Thank you.

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.

Very nice presentation

Hand mixer for amala is a game changer. Actually for any swallow.

Great job der chef

I enjoyed ur class

Whao. Lovely video. Please can you tell me the preservatives you use for the yam flour. Thanks

Good job 👍, can you share the name of spices you use to preserve you yam flour pls?

This is called ayoyo in Ghana

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 .

Really nice looking. By the way how do you marinate your chicken 🐓. Please advise?

Mix the yam flour with cold water first like custard and there will never be lumps in the amala.

What if tou don't have locust bean can you substitute with Ogiri Okpei?

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 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?

ملوخيه 😋😋

Please talk more about the spices you put in the elubo, I've stopped buying because of it. Please help!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

What spices did you used to preserved it ( elubo )

I've missed you posts, it's been a while.

Make d stew for us now antyyy

What spices do you use to preserve your amala pls?

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

Does salt added to ewedu on fire makes it less slimy?

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.

Can you boil the ewedu leaf before blending it

Please what was the last ingredient added to the ewedu after salt?

Can you use dried ewedu leaves?

Hello thanks for sharing what else did you serve the ewedu with other than the amala?

A good one there please what did you use to preserver your amala flour. Thank you.

What is the ingredients you used to preserve your elubo?

luwatoyinbaruwa238 0 seconds ago Chef Lola i love your explicit explanation. Can you pls tell us the spices you use to preserve your elubo? Thanks in anticipation.

I totally loved every bit of your story telling as you made this delicious soup

dem nor de add stockfish?

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.

What is ewedu called in English, so I can look for it in my state. As always your food looks so good Chef Lola

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 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.

Plz ma, list the ingredients

am to larn

Mrenda if you are from Kenya

what is potash??? what is amala???
