I’m having a new love for Africa the media never told us anything good about mama Africa from this side of the world. I’m Jamaican and I can tell you I feel the connection to the mother land ! 🇯🇲🇯🇲
I'm sorry you had to go through that. We don't live in huts or wear rags as your people must have told you. We are the most fashionable, we eat tasty, nice meals and we have beautiful houses.
If you make this, I recommend using spinach instead of the ugwu leaves. It gives it a lighter taste that’s more palatable to many people born and raised in America. 💙
My roots are Trinidad 🇹🇹 and I've been studying more the African way of cooking to the point that I make red sauce dishes more than curry or ackee/saltfish.. Ehh.. I'm so thankful for these recipes, may we all have long life. Amen.
@MaziDanielbills I divide the dried fish into 2, I put some at the beginning of the cooking to impart some flavour, then I add the rest at the end so that I can get some to chew😊
@chetasworld1 Thanks for the reply Ma, you are truly organic with your followings! Looking forward to 1M subscribers on your channel!!! More Grace Ma!!!
Herrrr....the boy can sing ooo. What baffles me is the fact that he sings according to each keys of the particular music he's singing. He really follows and understands what we call rhythm of a music. May God increase your oil,son of the living God.

Same, I love scent leaves but not sure I'll appreciate the taste in Egusi soup, I'll try it in a lil pot of soup to see... But you see Uziza leaves, I love the taste in virtually all soups except Bitter leaf soup 😊
@@chetasworld1 No. Don't tell me to add mine, Cheta, when you gave and dashed my expectations of seeing yours. I am even a new subscriber even though I did not mention it. First impressions matter. I really expected more.
My first time trying it woow it was really good, but the second time i added rice because it more like a stew not soup. My Nigerian friend thought me how to eat egusi soup, As a Ghanaian i know egusi with kontomiria so it was normal eating the Nigerian version of egusi, i would rather eat it with rice than swallow, it test sooooo nice big ups my Nigerians.😂😂😂😂
Cheta, for your international audience maybe you should have explained some of your ingredients you called by Nigerian names: Egusi - dried and ground Melon seed; Ugu Leaf - is fluted Pumpkin Leaf. Your "secret ingredient" (you call "scent leaf" goes by specific Nigerian names depending on tribes: in Yorubaland it is called "Efirin", in Igboland it is called "Nchianwu", in my village in Rivers State we call it "Kunudiri". In English what you call "scent leaf" is called "Basil". You used the fresh leaf, not dry, ground packaged Basil sold in Supermarkets. Finally the slang "I am not capping" translates to "I am not exaggerating"!!!
Lol... well cheta just maybe if u didn't turn the meat like from the nylon than no one would b thinking it's isn't washed. By the way your soup looks delicious 😁🤤
I noticed that too. Not a good look. Maybe it was pre washed…but then the audience won’t know that unless she says so. Maybe she could have put it in a bowl ahead of the recording.
The two products are so amazing can one use d purest glow lotion d one u mention with d purest glow vit c and niacinamide body wash i mean d yellow one like if u dont want to use d one u mention d shower wash and d lotion can u use only d lotion with d vit c wash of it?
Please cook it for a little longer....that's how my husband made it this way and we were running up and down to the toilet 😂......no ....am serious.....just frying it and cooking a little will give you a repeat of what I experienced....... after that I never let him cook nothing for me
Absolutely not. I have made Egusi for over a decade now and never experienced this so probably there is something else you and your husband might want to take a look at. Egusi cooked well within 10 minutes is enough to cook Egusi soup completely
Why is it called soup when its not runny? How does your sauce or stew look like then? What defines soup and how do you identify it? Also what defines sauces and or stew and how do you identify them? Just curious 🤔 how do you differentiate them?
I'm a Namibian 🇳🇦 & we are privileged to have Mrs Okafor (Namibian lady married to a Nigerian) who prepares Nigerian dishes. heavenly food.
is there any Nigerian restaurant in Namibia?
@@mayanaija Yeah Mrs Okafor's kitchen. They do deliveries as well.
Welcome to Nigeria
Heavenly food?

I'm in Belfast Mpumalanga in South Africa and I haven't seen someone selling nigerian or Ghanaian food im really craving for it
I am Black African American & my American side says no but my African side says u better. 😂 I owe to my African Ancestors. ❤️
Awnnnnnn ❤️
U better accept the African part 😅😅😅

@@MmaIsGood Nothing wrong with the ugwu, coming from a Jamaican American guy. 🇯🇲🇳🇬
@@evabenjamin4382❤
Uziza and scent leave are just a perfect secret ingredients 😊
Really? I will definitely try it
I love mine with a little bitter leaf but I'll try this.
Yes o me too with bitter leave I am good to go
No try am ohh, ur method is the best trust me ❤😊
Iove❤😅hgjfzr
Scent leaf is a game changer.
I feel like scent leaf is overrated
@@oyinlicious9250 To you. To me, it gives it another different nd better taste. Maybe it's not ur cup of tea sha

I will try this recipe next time I am cooking egusi. Thank you for sharing
Always a pleasure ❤️
Yes egusi like most soups can be customised...lovely recipe presented here.
Can you post your recipe please? Looks delicious ❤️🇯🇲
Put the smoked fish towards the end so it doesn't " disappear" with all the turning
That won't taste good... you need to boil it for some minutes to brings out the taste 😊😊
Sure @@MaziDanielbills
@MaziDanielbills I divide the dried fish into 2, I put some at the beginning of the cooking to impart some flavour, then I add the rest at the end so that I can get some to chew😊
That's Spectacularly, excellent. I love the secret recipes.
So yummy yummy, my Ghanaian friend taught me to cook this. I missed cow skin oooh 🥺🥺🥺🥺
EGUSI IS NIGERIAN FOOD MIND U
100% Nigerian soup
This particular style of egusi soup taste amazing.this is how my grandma cooks her egusi and the taste is everything

U did not wash the meat
Am shocked
You freeze unwashed meat in your home?
@@chetasworld1 so what’s wrong with washing it again , who saw you freezing it , is it not a content you making hmmmm

@@chetasworld1 Do you understand content and who said is supposed to be fake hmmmm you sef you noe reach , you too proud
It would be nice to have the recipe. this looks really good
Yes ooo, uziza is another twist too ❤
My mom taught me this twist☺️. Lovely video 💯💯
Bad girl 😮 oya my plate is here😢
I prefer adding uziza leaves to scent leaves ❤
Try both leaves, it's so good with some ugu. All 3 of them
Same, I love scent leaves but not sure I'll appreciate the taste in Egusi soup, I'll try it in a lil pot of soup to see...
But you see Uziza leaves, I love the taste in virtually all soups except Bitter leaf soup 😊
@@stellao748uziza leaves is actually great in bitter leaf soup o
Try a mixture of both next time. That's how I make mine
Girl, after Watching this your video, am heading to my freezer for the ingredients. I will be making my egusi soup now.
It does look yummy 😋
Frying egusi is the secret😊 I do that as well.
I craved this scent leaf egusi with hot akpu throughout my last pregnancy. E sweet taya
This is how my mother has been cooking it for 40years. It's not new.
ok
Exactly, there is nothing new here
I really expected to see a twist. 😢l
@@samkateokeke7749 Since you didn’t see any add yours
@@chetasworld1 No. Don't tell me to add mine, Cheta, when you gave and dashed my expectations of seeing yours. I am even a new subscriber even though I did not mention it. First impressions matter. I really expected more.
We should learn to accept any gifts that give to us with appreciation no matter how it's
Thank you lord for these recipes we pray for long live and more money in our pockets to always be able to afford such meals. Amen
Amen! 🙏
To get a better taste of egusi soup, it is recommended that you cook the egusi for at least 20-30 minutes.
.
I love mine with Uziza leaf. It really takes it to another level 🥹🤤🤤
Uziza leaf is good in egusi soup it gives a taste you did perfect wel ❤❤🎉🎉
Tu m'as fait saliver hein ! 😋😋😋👍
I love mine with a little bitter leaf but will definitely try it
Bitter leaf in Egusi, the best.
Ahhh okpei...you really got it
I swear 🤤
@@nicoleobogo8468please what is okpei and how is it made?
I'm surely going to try this.
Nice, thanks
Really ❤ it, delicious and very easy to make 🎉
Try spring onions at the end of the meal. allow it to cook for 2minutes. You'll so love it. I'm Igbo. I learnt that from a northern Nigerian
Hmmmm
My first time trying it woow it was really good, but the second time i added rice because it more like a stew not soup.

Yummy yummy, my favorite soup, no week passes without eating egusi soup

This is REALLY helpful indeed!! Thanks!😊
I will try it with love
Thanks for sharing. ❤I really love scent leaves
My Favorite soup!!!😋🤤❤️
Interesting.....I love trying interesting things, will try it for sure 😀 ❤
Yes I will try it! My friend cooked this and other West Afrikan meals for me, one of my favourites!
Very nice
That's how I've always cooked mine, only difference is I fry the egusi dry, ie I don't mix with water
Twist kee, we have been doing it since God knows when.
ok
SCENT LEAF INSIDE EGUSI SOUP KWA?
Yup!
Lol... well cheta just maybe if u didn't turn the meat like from the nylon than no one would b thinking it's isn't washed.
By the way your soup looks delicious 😁🤤
Just what I was thinking 🧐
I wash my meat then freeze in nylons so when I want to cook, it's from nylon/ziplock to pot
I noticed that too. Not a good look.
Maybe it was pre washed…but then the audience won’t know that unless she says so.
Maybe she could have put it in a bowl ahead of the recording.
God please provide for me so I can cook this soon. Amen🙏
Amen!
@@chetasworld1 thanks so much🙏 ❤❤❤❤
It reminds me of Osofia in London 😅
Ok?
Scent leaves makes a lot of difference! Pls guys try it and you will thank her later
The best soup❤❤❤❤
I just finished cooking my egusi soup with this same recipe and boom 💥 i came across this post 😅
🤣
The scent leaves is the twist 🪢
Absolutely
This looks absolutely delicious🤤 …I’d try this scent leave hack👌🏾
In Ghana 🇬🇭 it is Egusi stew 🍲 😀😀😀
LET GHANIANS STICK TO Dem EROSION SOUP OR STEW PLS
Well done sis❤
I will try it immediately 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️
The scent leaf. I’ll try that instead of uziza
My twist is usually utazi. but will give this a try
Utazi? I know of uziza nd scent leaf. Is the utazi not going to make it bitter?
@@valeriechidubemI'm sure they meant ukazi
I will try it
Thus soup is healthy, I just love the fact that you did not use too much of seasoning cube
Naija food is the best n nutritional too
Thank you for sharing ❤
I'm hungry already 😊
Na frying be the koko ooooo. My mother taught me.
I am going to try this
Scent leaf spices up not only soup also stew😏👍
Thanks alot for the recipe, just what I needed ❤
I need it with rice
It's nice seeing other people use okpiye.
If I may ask, where are you from?
The Eastern part of Nigeria
@@chetasworld1 That's nice.
The two products are so amazing can one use d purest glow lotion d one u mention with d purest glow vit c and niacinamide body wash i mean d yellow one like if u dont want to use d one u mention d shower wash and d lotion can u use only d lotion with d vit c wash of it?
Use any lotion you like
Na so I'm cooking my egussi since... I'm a German I love cooking is a passion❤
Please cook it for a little longer....that's how my husband made it this way and we were running up and down to the toilet 😂......no ....am serious.....just frying it and cooking a little will give you a repeat of what I experienced....... after that I never let him cook nothing for me

😂😂😂
10mins? That’s scary o
I just saw 3 of your cooking vids and I must confess, you are clean indeed 👍❤.
One more thing; what is òkpé? 😂🤣 ...sounds funny when you say it
Okpei is an all-purpose seasoning that is used for major Nigerian Local dishes to boost the food aroma and taste.
@@chetasworld1 Thanks! I'll try it someday 👍
I will try this recipe the next time I am cooking egusi soup
Please can uziza leaf be added in this scent leaf recipe too?
So far I know that you put either Uziza or scent leaf but not the both of them
Looks really nice..
I think I missed it.
At what point did you add the pepper mix?
With the blended items, listen properly
Hello, is the scent leaf 🍃 called the same in UK 🇬🇧?
Sharp❤❤
I will definitely try this
Yes I will definitely give it a shot 😂
Oh ok

Correct.❤
Yes ooo i will try some
❤❤❤❤❤
Wow that's awesome
Looks so yummy!!
Looks fire!!! My family we live for fish and chicken! Surf and turf stew 🍲 ❤❤❤
