      If you live in the USA, you won't use 20. Certain Peppers here are hotter.

    • @KwankyewaasKitchen
      @KwankyewaasKitchen  3 місяці тому +2

      Habaneros are extremely hot! I remember the first time I travelled out of Ghana to the UK. I went to visit my friend from the UK. She was a student then and so while she was gone I decided to meal prep some stew for her. Well I added those peppers I found like I would in Ghana. Of course the stew was delicious but we had to drink water with every bite😂😂😂

      Original kwenkwen is not served with gari. But you can add if you prefer...some sellers add it these days but typically it is served with beans, salad, talia, eggs, wele and fish....even meat is not authentic authentic with this dish.

    • @Maamejeanette
      @Maamejeanette 3 місяці тому

      Eating it with gari is like eating jollof with gari- the textures dont marry well but you can add gari if you want.

    • @KwankyewaasKitchen
      @KwankyewaasKitchen  3 місяці тому

      Yes sis, I really don't remember ever eating it with gari.

    There is nothing a nutritionist will tell me. This is complete diet especially if you have 2 plates of this with ginger or hibiscus juice.
