Method of preparation

✓ Boil the Palm fruit (eyop) for about 25 minutes

✓ Pound it to separate the flesh from the nut

✓ Use hot water to pour on the Palm fruit, use your hand to squeeze out the juice from the pulp

✓ Sieve the juice into the bowl and set aside

✓ I seasoned the meat and cow skin with seasoning cube, pepper, onions and salt, steam the meat till it's well cooked.

I prepared everything, by pounding, fresh pepper, crayfish and atama leaf and set aside before I started putting them into the cooking pot one after the other.

✓ Added the periwinkle

✓ Pour the palm fruit juice into the pot of meat, place it on fire to boil

✓ I added pounded crayfish

I allowed it to boil till it thicken to my desired state, before I put off the gas

I boil water and prepared eba (garri) and dish out the soup and served myself.

My Banga Soup is ready with eba

Banga soup is made from palm fruit juice and atama leaves, it is a popular soup in Nigeria, Ghana and even Cameroon. It is one of the most enjoyed dishes in the niger-Delta region of Nigeria.

Banga soup can be eaten with all types of swallows, semo, eba, pounded yam and fufu, the most interesting one is that Banga soup can used as stew to eat white rice and even boiled yam.
