Is it necessary to add akidi and how do you add it and at what time do you add it while preparing

Good job Ma!!!
Why can’t we call the garden egg in its real name- ‘AYARAN’; to differentiate it from the regular garden egg ( English)

In reply to Chidi Anegbu. You can use baking soda or bicarbonate soda as an alternative and gives the result. I don't like potash.

In reply to Esther Nwankwo. There is another native ash, ngu. Is it possible that you used too much? half a teaspoon is enough.

potash is not good for consumption due to the particles in it dat is harmful to human health. U can use roasted palmfrond leave which is the main solution for making “ngòò or soup for abbacha. I LIKE DIS SITE FOR REAL. I HAVE TRIED COOKING LOTS OF FOOD THROUGH DIS SITE. KUDOS TO ALL IN D HOUSE!!!

Hello Nelly, thanks for your comment, I have not heard anything about edible potash causing kidney troubles. However you need only a tiny piece when preparing African Salad and it would be definitely alright if you consume only a small amount in a whole week. Even penicillin causes problems when taken in large quantity at a particular time :wink:. thanks
