Ndole ( Cameroon Dish)


I would like to share the Ndole recipe, which is The Cameroon dish. The smooth texture and the rich taste is really Delicious.

On the holiday we met our old friend from Cameroon (we used to live in this country), we were talking about the nostalgia and of course about "Ndole", our favourite dish. Yes, I can make it at home (Medan) since all the ingredients are available but of course we do not have Ndole leaves (bitter leaves), but we can replace it with spinach, which I used to do it anyway while we were in Cameroon. You can replace the prawns with any meat or smoked fish or even do it as vegetarian dish , omit the prawns...

Here is the recipe, let's try

Liburan yang lalu kami bertemu teman lama dari Cameroon (9 tahun yang lalu kami tinggal di sana), kami mengobrol tentang masa lalu dan tentu saja tentang makanan. Ndole adalah sayur khas negara ini, rasanya agak manis dengan tekstur lembut (tentu saja kita bisa tambah cabe jika kita suka pedas). Kami sekeluarga menyukainya. 

Saya ingin berbagi resep ini karena semua bahan tersedia disini, tentu saja daun Ndole tidak ada disini (mungkin ada tapi belum ketemu), jadi saya ganti dengan pucuk bayam. Waktu kami di Cameroonpun kami selalu menggunakan pucuk bayam. Bagi yang advanturous...., silahkan mencoba
