How to prepare Miyan kuka (popular nothern soup)

 Miyan Kuka is certainly the most famous northern Nigerian soup and translated as “Boabab leaf soup”. The green draw-soup is made from ground baobab leaf and special spices, preferably ‘Yaji’ – a mixture of ground pepper, ginger, garlic and other seasonings/herbs.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons kuka powder (dry baobab leaves powder)
  • 1kg cow ribs (cut into pieces)
  • 2 dry cat fish
  • 2 cooking spoons red palm oil
  • 2 handfuls crayfish (2 tablespoons ground crayfish)
  • 1 flat round dawa dawa (ogiri okpei, iru, locust beans)
  • Habanero pepper (atarugu, ose oyibo, atarodo)
  • 1 onion
  • 2 big seasoning cubes
  • Salt (to your taste)

Directions:

  • Cook the cow ribs with the seasoning cubes and onion.
  • When the meat is done, turn off the heat, remove the chunks of onion then take out the meat from the beef stock.
  • Add the kuka powder, spreading over the meat stock as you add. Then stir very well with a slotted spoon to ensure that you get a smooth mix without lumps.
  • Add the pepper, crayfish and dawa dawa blend and palm oil. Stir very well.
  • Cover and cook for 5 minutes on medium heat, stirring it from time to time.
  •  Kuka is very much like ogbono hence sticks to the bottom of the pot if not stirred often.
  • After 5 minutes, add the cooked beef and some salt if necessary.
  • Stir very well.
  • It is ready!
