The day I'll travel to Nigeria ...I have a list of foods I'll try from the streets because I hear it is sweeter from there unlike hotels ❤❤❤😂😂😂. Love from Kenya.
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. 💙
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"!!!

I’ll be making this for the first time this weekend. I’ve never made African Dishes before but I love equsi soup and I’ll be making Okra soup, fufu & plantains I 🙏🏾 it turns out right I’m an American woman I hope my African boo likes it lol
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?
@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😊
Pls i want to know do u pour water to the egusi u want to fry i mean when u want to fry it with red oil Do u mix it with water just like when u boil it😊 I want to know pls help out
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.
I want to try this but I don't get egusi and the leafy greens needed for it. Are there any alternatives to both? I've never eaten egusi soup so I don't know how it tastes and i plan to make it this weekend 😅
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 😊
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.
@@webbset I share my realistic life, I am not a paid actor. Please go to the pages of the creators that act to see all the fake and pretencious activities. You can’t find those here

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
@@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.

@@chetasworld1 I plan on making it myself. But I would love to have a clue of what it taste like. Is it similar to Curry chicken? That's my favorite thing to eat. I like it spicy too. Most of my family can't handle the heat so I have to tone it down for them

EGUSI IS NIGERIAN FOOD MIND U
100% Nigerian soup
Ghanaians eat Egusi? I didn't know
Naa Ghanaian eat Palava Sauce which looks like Nigerian's egusi soup. Just that we use cocoyam leaves and melon seeds for our Palava Sauce
Nchianwu, Okpe & Ugwu for the win. All that's missing is ogiri for that yummy beany taste in every bite. Ọmọ! Egwusi this evening o! Well done chef!
That's Spectacularly, excellent. I love the secret recipes.
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
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

My best egusi soup recipe. ugwu mixed with scent leaf is yummy and appetizing
This particular style of egusi soup taste amazing.this is how my grandma cooks her egusi and the taste is everything
Always 💯
Pls i want to know do u pour water to the egusi u want to fry i mean when u want to fry it with red oil
Do u mix it with water just like when u boil it😊
I want to know pls help out
You don't have to mix it with water.... Just pour the blended egusi, stir immediately and add the other things....

Uziza leaf is good in egusi soup it gives a taste you did perfect wel ❤❤🎉🎉
Naija food is the best n nutritional too
I want to try this but I don't get egusi and the leafy greens needed for it. Are there any alternatives to both? I've never eaten egusi soup so I don't know how it tastes and i plan to make it this weekend 😅
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
That looks yummy 😋
Plz can I know egusi and ougu leaves in English
I want to prepare egus soup
Melon seeds and flutted pumpkin leaves
This is exactly how we used to make Egusi back in the days in Naija. Now scent leaves where I live is so scarce.
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.
I love mine with Uziza leaf. It really takes it to another level 🥹🤤🤤
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.
This is such a detailed video
I love how you took time to explain everything
I will try it for baby when she turns 6 months
@@ZIKKIESWORLD Always my pleasure
I love mine with a little bitter leaf but will definitely try it
Bitter leaf in Egusi, the best.
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
Yummy yummy, my favorite soup, no week passes without eating egusi soup
Yummy. Egusi soup with all assorted meat and fufu very tasty.
Bad girl 😮 oya my plate is here😢
You are the best thank you so much ❤❤

This is the best method ever, I used bitter leaf and scent leaves plus iru(Locust beans). Best combo ever
Yea, I have prep. mine with scent leaf , though added to bitter leaf. It’s delicious ❤
Lovely, i do add the scent leaf first before the Ugu so that I dont over cook the Ugu.

I think I missed it.
At what point did you add the pepper mix?

Hello, is the scent leaf 🍃 called the same in UK 🇬🇧?
Also try Uziza leaf 😊tastes great 👍🏻
I can tell you that this is the perfect way to enjoy Egusi
hey. what can I do if the maggi cube made the egusi too salty. will adding fish help?
