Abacha also known as African Salad which is prepared with cassava, potash, palm oil, salt, pepper and onion. It can be ganish with fried fish and kanda. Is a very delicious :yum: meal of the IGBO tribe in Nigeria.

Wow, thank you for introducing me to a rare dish that I have never seen in Japan. Is this a stir fry or a simmered dish?

I’m reading using Google Translate. However, there were some ingredients I didn’t know. Can you tell me what potash and kanda are?

By the way, there is a place called kanda＝神田 in the place name of Tokyo.

It is famous as a city with many bookstores, sporting goods stores, and curry restaurants.

Thanks to you, the number of dishes you want to eat will increase. Once covid-19 has converged, I would like to go to a restaurant in Africa or another country to eat them. :plate_with_cutlery: :running_man:‍ :female_sign: :dash:

Kanda or Kpomo is a cow skin used to prepare some dish in Nigeria, it is preferred by many usually when the cow skin is so soft.

Have a look at Kanda or Kpomo

Potash originates from wood ash. It is gotten from burning the leaves of palm in a careful way to get this Potash it is very different from Akanwu which may be Potassium Carbonate.

Oh my world @Chine !!!

This is the best meal for a cold weather especially when it’s served spicy and hot!

So tasty and delicious, it’s a delight for me and my family.

Thanks for tagging me @Austinelewex . I wouldn’t have reminisced on this meal and how it was my favourite at a younger age.
