Hi ma’am….. I tried my own nkwobi but the issue is that the oil separated from the ncha after a few minutes though it was creamy and light yellow at first. What went wrong ma?

In reply to Tolu. It should be warm... and you can't reheat it, the 'ncha' will turn back to plain red oil when heated.

Thank you for the explanation, was also concerned about the alternative for potash would definitely use the baking soda for health reasons. Thanks again

What about stock fish nkwobi?

Anytime I quest for nkwobi so badly from my hubby the next question he will ask is .hmmmmm are you pregnant? Cos that’s always my usual anytime I take in. I will definitely try this out and if it works and I get the taste? Hmmmmm nkwobi will get tired of me . thanks so much.

Yes, the alternative to potash is baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) it is a perfect and healthier alternative. That is what I use for any recipe that requires potash

Hi there, u can also use kpomo but not the slim one. Make it very soft so that u can enjoy the nkwobi.

By: Chima

Chima — Fri, 02 Aug 2013 07:53:21 +0000

I know how to make nkwobi with isiewu, as a matter of fact, that is the best recipe in igbo land. You can also add the intestines and liver while making it – it is super delicious.

Yes! Cow leg! I have eaten a lot of nkwobi that was made with cow legs as well as that of chicken. You can use any meat at all and it would taste nice if you really know what you are doing

By: The Nigerian Kitchen

The Nigerian Kitchen — Tue, 23 Jul 2013 21:24:02 +0000

Thanks for clearing out that Mary, you are right. The first nkwobi that I ate was made with goat meat, I have also tried one with chicken as well as the one with cow leg. Nkwobi with cow leg is actually the most popular recipe in Nigeria.

Maira — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 15:57:01 +0000

Thanks for this recipe. I am also new to making Nigerian foods, I have been following your site and weekly email for a couple of weeks. I am an American woman that is married to an Igbo Man, he has stayed in America for 16 years but still very fund of Igbo foods. I have learned to make a lot of them from your site, can I try this nkwobi? I don’t know If I will find the ingredients here in the States, maybe I should just stick to jollof rice and tomato stew. Thanks

I think you can use any meat for nkwobi, although bush meats are the best, but now virtually all kinds of meat could be used

Thanks for the recipe, I just want to know if I can use turkey for nkwobi

This is one of my favorite igbo recipe, I like Nkwobi when it is well made. I know a man at Isolo Lagos that specialize in making this igbo delicacy. You can pay him a visit
