Good evening to you all. I hope you are all doing well. After a stressful evening I decided to share the little cooking experience I know about Okro and Semovita.
Nowadays people prefer to eat sallow more than rice because it sustains us more than any other food and it is a good source of energy.
Majority of human like eating Okro and Eba(garri), Okro and Akpu, Okro and pounded yam, Okro and Tuwo'shinkafa just to mention but a few. But I actually love my Okro been prepared with semovita. I have a particular way of preparing my own Okro and Semovita. Below are the methods;
