Ingredients

Egusi soup

Garri

Hot water

Instructions

1. Your egusi soup should be available already because that’s the most important part of the snack.
   
2. Pour as much garri as you want to use in a bowl and add hot water then keep string like you want to make eba. Make sure it stays consistent and thick to hold a filling.
   
3. When you get your desired texture, scoop some out and flatten on your palm. Place on a flat surface. Pour some egusi soup as filling and roll the eba over the filling. Repeat till you exhaust the eba.
   
4. Heat a pan of very little oil and fry the eba pockets till edges are a bit brown. Note that this process can be done before adding the filling, depending on your choice.
