BANKU WITH OKRO SOUP BY @MASSACHUSSETS

Hello, lovely members of this esteemed community.

Before I start my business for today I will like to say a big Thank you to @alikoc07 @steemitfoods for their maximum support, also to @ngoenyi thank you for your good moderation and support.
Today I will like to share to all of us my recipe on my banku with okro soup I prepared.

Okro soup (African okra soup) is made with okra vegetables that have been simmered in a delicious mixture of palm oil,
smoked fish, beef meat, and African spices and many more.

INGREDIENTS

*Okra: I used about 25 pieces of okra for this recipe, which equaled about 4 cups chopped. It doesn't have to be exact; you can estimate the volume by eyeballing the okra. But keep in mind that the more okra you use, the thicker the soup will be.

*Meats and fish: You can make this with any combination of meats or fish, but the cooking time will differ. Beef meat, smoked fish, fermented fish(momoni) were used. The more proteins you add, the more filling the soup becomes, as well as the chunkier it becomes. This is how I prefer it, but it is entirely up to you.

*Palm oil is best for African traditional soups, but if you don't have any, olive oil will suffice. Although the taste will not be identical, you will still have a tasty okro soup dish.

Other ingredients

*Melon seeds(agushi)
*tomatoes
*garlic
*onions
*maggie
*smoked fish
*onion leaves
*carrot
*green pepper
*pepper
*casava dough
