i’m from kazakhstan so this cuisine is so alien to me but it got recommended to me for some reason and now i want to try and cook this:) +this woman’s smile and personality are contagious i was invested and smiled throughout the whole thing❤️
Omg I’m pregnant it’s 2am and I’m contemplating making this rn. If only I had the ingredients 😂😍😍😍 looks delicious. I’m Mexican and love to try new foods , this is my next meal for my husband for sure! ❤️❤️🤞🏽
I drove 45 minutes today to try it for the first time. Lately people have been posting videos of themselves trying it and spitting it out and being very disrespectful to the culture but I thought it looked really good so I got some and loved it. Now just a few hours later I’m looking at how to make it because I need more!!!❤️❤️❤️
The problem with ppl is that they expect food to taste the same as it tastes in their cultures. Many times it is not so and a lot of the taste of foods is acquired. It is very disrespectful to video yourself spitting out other ppl's food. They are not fools they are plain uncultured, and undisciplined and with no values or good upbringing.

Plenty of African places I could get it from but I truly think African food is booming, it's so rich and diverse with a variety of spices and uses for them! I'm honestly completely intrigued and addicted, I was born and raised in France 😂 but I want to learn how to use all these beautiful ingredients
I really appreciate the way you explained your recipe and told us the exact measurements without skipping anything! (I was shopping online for the ingredients as you were explaining them) I have been missing African food and couldn’t find a good enough recipe until I found you on google. Again I appreciate how you do your videos. You have gained yourself a new subscriber 😊
THE RESULTS WERE AMAZING THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL!! I made it for my family tonight I hope everybody appreciate the FULL BODY workout it took to make the fufu 😂💕💕
Love your clarity and it is so accessible. My Honduran family use a Hana to pound cooked green plantain but… now I have a peek to see where and how the tradition comes from.
I’ve recently discovered that I’m part Nigerian so this video means everything to me. I also specialize in culinary and tried this once before at a restaurant but now I will attempt to make this at home. Thank you so much ❤
I made you egusi soup version and it was divine, everyone loved it and we all tried African food for the first time. Thank you for sharing your culture with the world.
My mother loves egusi but our closest restaurant is 2 hours away lol. This was so beautifully done and easy to follow, thank you 🥰 she literally brings the ingredients to me every Thursday now 😭😂
I just finished making the Egusi soup. Thank you for another wonderful recipe. I had ordered Egusi soup at an African restaurant and feel in love but the cost of $19 (with tip) meant that I wouldn't enjoy it often :-( Now thanks to your recipe, I can have Egusi soup anytime I want. And by the way, I did look at many other recipes and your recipe was the easiest to follow. I like your spirit. Thank you my sister!!!
Before trying fufu became a TikTok trend, my Nigerian friend took me to an authentic Nigerian restaurant to try fufu and various stews. Before we arrived, I was already in the mindset of being open to a new experience... from the way the staff would treat me, restaurant atmosphere, food wait time and the way this ancient, sacred food from another continent would taste. When the food finally arrived, I was overwhelmed with joy to be experiencing an array of new flavors. Then, when I later saw people on TikTok gagging when trying this food, it broke my heart. We need to teach our children and each other how to be more receptive of how different other cultures are. People need to understand what is “normal” in a community’s general taste preferences completely depends on our environment, so “normal” is completely subjective. In order to argue that something is objectively “normal,” the subject matter must concern health. If you try Nigerian food and think it’s “gross” or “weird,” consider keeping your limited opinions to yourself. It’s a bad look to comment on other cultures based off of your preference of taste.
I love the focus on no waste. I always rinse my sauce jar/can and then pour it into whatever I'm making. But you never see that on youtube or recommended by cheifs. I love to see it encouraged, because it makes sense and it's what people actually do. Loved this video and the intro to African cuisine!
I had Egusi Soup for the first time in 2013 and fell in love! I havent had it since because all of my African friends are so busy and its a lot to cook. I am black american and love most african dishes.
I typically find myself fast forwarding through most cooking videos, but not this one. Not only are you a lovely woman but you have the most calming voice... not to mention food that looks absolutely amazing! Our family will be trying this for sure! BTW I love cast iron and use it almost exclusively. I was wondering who the manufacturer of your pot was?
Your recipe is so delicious that we are making it again this weekend, thank you. Here in Switzerland we don't have many African restaurants, so it's awesome that we have the possibility through this video and others on UA-cam to get to know other cultures and their favorite food
I’ve never tried Egusi or Fufu. My family and I have never tried African food but it looks delicious I want to make it already as I’m watching this! Thank you for the recipe 😊
Thank you for sharing your culture and recipe. What a Devine looking dish. I am gonna try it as soon as I am able to. Thinking a nice cool fall or winter day this will be just perfect.
I followed the directions word for word and it was delicious my kids even love it. Definitely something to add to the menu. On my way to take my mom a bowl and some fufu
My heritage is Jamaican/Dominican. I've had the dish a few times thanks to my friends. Your tutorial is clear and easy to follow. So happy I can make this healthy dish for myself ❤️ 🇬🇧
This looks sooooo good. I can’t wait to try it. I honestly can’t imagine the taste. All of the flavors are so new to me, but I welcome the challenge. After all this is who I am.
I love the unpolished melon seeds and Fresh Kale. The brightness of the soup is beautiful and super delicious 🤤 and the Fufu is well done 👍 I call it stress free . See your mouth digging in ooo🤣🤣 ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Talk about a comprehensive Egusi soup tutorial, everyone get your pen and paper, let's learn from Nanaaba's Kitchen! Oh dear, this Egusi soup and fufu looks unbelievable, sista!!!!! You no joke at all. I am coming abeg, I want this one, and nothing else today!
Dinner time in Virginia and my family LOVES this recipe!!! Tonight was my first time making this delicious dish, but I assure you... it won't be the last. Thank you Nanaaba!!! ❤️
My ex’s mother was from Ghana and dad was from Togo. He made this for me and I was instantly loving it ever since. I want to make this for myself and my incredible man ♥️ thanks for the step by step instructions.
I’m so excited to make this. I’ve never tried Ghanaian food before and I’ve never met an American who’s eaten west african food. It looks delicious, love from America 🇺🇸 4:17 that chicken is so vibrant with the spices. I never even thought to add ginger 6:50 I love pumpkin seeds I bet for a green leafy vegetable mustard greens would be good
Omg...watching you cook all these delicious dishes makes me want to move to Africa....I love African food and now I’m learning how to cook it at home. Thank you so much 😊
I live in Indiana and I am SO INTRIGUED to try this! It looks SO DELICIOUS and I can only imagine the amazing tastes it has!!! Thank you for creating this video!!! I am hoping to make this soon!!!
I live on the Northside of Chicago so there's a large African community here so we have many African restaurants, but my neighbor has a daughter who is part Nigerian and she made Egusi Stew and it was so delicious. I really enjoyed your video and the pot with the little pig on the handle is so cute ☺
I worked with a Lady from Ghana when I was in the military. She said the EXACT same thing about egusi not being eaten/served with fufu in Ghana and that what we were seeing all over tik tok was Nigerian influence. ❤ I can’t WAIT to make this 😋
I've always wanted to learn how to make fufu because it reminds of my 3rd grade teacher who had brought fufu and okra stew to school so we as kids can enjoy it. Boy, was it good!!! Here I am twenty years later, still craving some more Fufu and okra stew to enjoy. Amazing!!!❤
I'm so glad that I found your channel. You made this look so easy now I can cook this for my Nigerian King! I made him Poundo before and it came out lumpy and too soft. I've been trying to figure out how to make Egusi for him. I'm going to surprise him with this! Thank you so much!😊❤️
I’ve been looking for this recipe for years. I had an elementary school teacher who made for us years ago and I couldn’t remember what it was called until recently! Looks like I’m gonna have to order some ingredients and make it!!!
From New Orleans about to surprise my girl with this for Mother’s Day we just found out we’re Nigerian so definitely thank you for the fire vid first time eating and cooking this dish wish me luck🤷🏾
I love this recipe I’ve been making this for years now. I do skip the step of broiling the chicken in the oven, just because I like one pot meals. Less dishes. It still comes out delicious!❤️
This seems like the easiest recipe I’ve seen so far. I live 5.5 hours from any African food stores. I live in a very rural area in Northern Ontario. I love it out here so much. It’s beautiful and life is so relaxing. I love food from all cultures. This is the only reason I miss the city sometimes. Thanks for sharing, I’m so excited to try it. I discovered this recipe at 9:20 pm and the chicken in out of the freezer at 9:30 😂 Luckily I have everything in my kitchen to make the soup. The fufu can wait but that soup needs to be ready ASAP 🤤 😍🥰
Omg sister I’m so excited! I had the honour of eating this and it was absolutely delicious! I fell in love with it and wanted to learn how to make it myself. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. I’m off to our local African store to purchase palm oil , fufu, and dried herring.
I can only eat egusi stew (soup for Nigerians) with rice, boiled yam, plantain, eba, banku, kenkey but never with fufu. As Ghanaian fufu is only eaten with soup (watery in nature), but I guess this is the Nigerian way. To each their own, and thanks for the video. 👏 It's good for those who want to try something new. ❤
I see that you made that distinction at the end of the video. This is very well-informed to those who are not familiar with Ghanaian and Nigerian dishes. Good job.👍🏼
I know right! It was quite delicious though! An unusual combo that worked harmoniously 👌 the fufu must be thick though, for it to make sense, in my opinion 🙏❤️
Honestly I think when Nigerians say "Fufu" they are referring to pounded yam or poundo yam. It's like slang to call it fufu. Normally egusi is eaten with pounded yam, eba, or amala.
You have a beautiful smile and I was just watching to see the different ways to make it I’ve never made it with chicken but I will try it thank you for Sharing your recipes with us and I greatly appreciate it
Hahaha I liked your commentary about ppl smacking the fufu. I think it started from someone talking about how he was required to eat fufu with utensils in boarding school, but whenever he'd get home, he would "smack that fufu, no mercy"
its called egusi/ agushi(its melon seeds that are grinded already or sometimes they come as a whole(not grounded) you can get them from the african grocery stores or some asian and international grocery stores
@@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061 Yes, I have never heard Egusi identified as 'pumpkin seeds', I've always understood Egusi to be melon seeds. That part of the video confused me enormously.
I discovered egusi last year looking for recommendations on what to order to support local African restaurants. I have dared to make it once only with oatmeal fufu. I like this simplified recipe too since this is what is readily available without going to a specialty store.
I’m native anishnaabe kwe, and this food has been so intriguing to me lately, I think I’m going to try and make this, thank you! In our culture we make scone, with wild rice soup..but nothing compared to what you made!
Thank you, thank you for the recipe for fufu and egusi stew. I had the dish from a friend from Nigeria who moved to California. we lost contact and it’s been a couple few decades searching for this recipe. So happy you shared the recipe.
Im from Guyana and we maje fufu with pound boiled green plantain or boiled yellow yams. Have ever made fufu with any if these roit veggies. Very labir intensive I must say. Love your cooking
That looks so delicious and you have made it look easy too! I have been wanting to try egusi stew and fufu since forever. I’m going to make it this weekend. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
I can’t wait to try making this lovely recipe, it looks so delicious. I will be making the fufu with fresh cassava and plantains. In Puerto Rico we eat a lot of yuca (cassava) and plantains, so delicious! ☺️❤️
From the moment I heard her say “you clean as you go” I knew she was a gem cause yessss 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I’m cooking this for myself for Valentine’s Day 😭❤️
Let us know how it goes
yuhhhh me too
Me too
Me too 👍🏻 midway at the moment
SAVE ME SOME 🙏🏽🙏🏽😫😫😂❤️❤️
I dated a Nigerian man and he introduced me to African cuisine and I haven’t looked back! Egusi potato greens fufu and grilled dibi is my favorite
My mom boyfriend Nigerian and I just got introduced and I love all of their food!!
Sameeee !!
Yep! The spices and flavours are divine....could never go back to basic or bland foods
ooh that amazing 👏😍
The chili’s I tried it it’s smelling bad that yellow one 😠😠
I’ve never had African food before but I just made this for my family last night following your recipe/tutorial and it was a big hit! Delicious!

Even as a Nigerian, fufu is hard for me…lol
I make semolina with potato starch(very little) to make fufu. I am from Congo, we don't eat this kind of fufu.
future. will soak that dry fish first.
Love your clarity and it is so accessible. My Honduran family use a Hana to pound cooked green plantain but… now I have a peek to see where and how the tradition comes from.
I am entirely obsessed with world cultures. And you make me feel so loved I just love African culture.

Excuse me… The TikTok trend was WHAT?!
👍👍👍👍
Why were they even gagging? It's paprika, garlic, onion, and seeds. Or was it the texture? Or using their hands? I'm lost
Love how detailed she is with the ingredients as she’s adding it 😍❤️ makes it very easy to follow along
I live by those tips you gave every time I cook: Clean as you go and no wasting of food. That stew looked so delicious!

@@lovelota6334 not really. Fufu is fufu. Pounded yam and the rest are called by their name.
Wow you are very thoughtful and thorough! Much appreciated! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
You have a beautiful smile and I was just watching to see the different ways to make it I’ve never made it with chicken but I will try it thank you for Sharing your recipes with us and I greatly appreciate it
Hahaha I liked your commentary about ppl smacking the fufu. I think it started from someone talking about how he was required to eat fufu with utensils in boarding school, but whenever he'd get home, he would "smack that fufu, no mercy"
I remember it too 🤣🤣😅😅🤣 the way he even said it was overly hilarious 🤣🙏😎
The inviting colour.of the Egusi soup.is everything for me. The was very detailed for our tik tok friends
came for the soup, left with a house in the bay area ¯\_( ツ )_/¯
Awesome!
Thank you Ido 🙏❤️
I love when she say NO WASTE..❤
You made it look so easy…. Thank you💕
I tried it for the first time. I was not disappointed!! So delicious and fun to eat!
I was wondering what that thing that look like egg was omg it’s pumpkin seeds which I love oh my days this must taste good can’t wait to try!!!
its called egusi/ agushi(its melon seeds that are grinded already or sometimes they come as a whole(not grounded) you can get them from the african grocery stores or some asian and international grocery stores
@@moonlightandstaryeyesbestr6061 Yes, I have never heard Egusi identified as 'pumpkin seeds', I've always understood Egusi to be melon seeds. That part of the video confused me enormously.
I discovered egusi last year looking for recommendations on what to order to support local African restaurants. I have dared to make it once only with oatmeal fufu. I like this simplified recipe too since this is what is readily available without going to a specialty store.
I’m native anishnaabe kwe, and this food has been so intriguing to me lately, I think I’m going to try and make this, thank you! In our culture we make scone, with wild rice soup..but nothing compared to what you made!
very comforting, ik i probably am too lazy to make it but it’s just fun to watch
Thank you, thank you for the recipe for fufu and egusi stew. I had the dish from a friend from Nigeria who moved to California. we lost contact and it’s been a couple few decades searching for this recipe. So happy you shared the recipe.
I'm in love with West African food now, that stew kills it! A perfect marriage with that fufu with happy ending ( in my mouth😋)
Im from Guyana and we maje fufu with pound boiled green plantain or boiled yellow yams. Have ever made fufu with any if these roit veggies. Very labir intensive I must say. Love your cooking
😋😋😋😋
You killed this recipe sis! I have had Egusi so many times and never knew it was pumpkin seeds!! Damn the knowledge bomb you just dropped!
Back home, it is African melon seed, and there are different varieties of them.
RIGHT exactly, now i have the knowledge, it is the simplest thing that makes all the difference
In Africa, it’s actually melon seed.
That looks so delicious and you have made it look easy too! I have been wanting to try egusi stew and fufu since forever. I’m going to make it this weekend. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
Very excited. My 19 yr granddaughter and I drove to have our first taste of African food yesterday. We fell in love. We will make this, thankyou
I can’t wait to try making this lovely recipe, it looks so delicious. I will be making the fufu with fresh cassava and plantains. In Puerto Rico we eat a lot of yuca (cassava) and plantains, so delicious! ☺️❤️
That’s sounds amazing and I’m puertorican
