ingredients

600 g egusi seeds (Melon)
2 cooking spoons red palm oil
Fish
dry fish and stock fish
3 tablespoons ground crayfish
salt & pepper (to taste)
3 small stock cubes

directions

In this method, as soon as the shaki, fish and meat are done, remove them from the stock (water used in cooking the meat and fish) and place in a different pot or plate.
Add the ground egusi to the stock and stir. If the stock from cooking your meat and fish is not enough to give you a medium consistency, add some water to get the consistency of evaporated milk or a bit thicker. It will not be as smooth as evaporated milk though.
