   RAMADÀN FOOD/ COOKING TIPS*


      *PRESERVING BLENDED TOMATOES, PEPPERS & ONIONS*

    Boil blended/ground tomatoes, peppers and onions till the liquid is absorbed. Pour some oil on top (not much) without stirring it. And keep it for use. It will last for a while. This method helps in preserving it due to lack of electricity. But if there is electricity, keep in the freezer for use.


   * SPINACH*

Cut spinach into medium size. Spread in a large tray and dry under a shade. Or where there is air. Avoid places that has flies. Store in an airtight container for use. When using, soak in water for minutes, it will turn to fresh spinach. Use in your vegetable soup, jollof rice, and food that calls for use of spinach.


         *OKRO* 

 Slice fresh okro. Arrange in a tray. Sprinkle some ash (toka) on it and dry it. When fully dried, blend or pound in a mortar for use in soup.

         *BEANS*

Pound the beans to remove the skin. As you are pounding, you will be adding some water not much (sirfewa). Pour on an empty sack and allow to dry. Seive in a tray to remove the dry skin of the beans. Pour in a rubber with a lid and keep it. Whenever you want to use it, just soak it, after some minutes. Strain and add red bell peppers, onions and crushed fresh ginger then grind.

    *MILLET*
  A slightly pound the millet with some water (not much) (sirfewa).
  Seive in a tray.  Wash to remove the sand, etc Pour on an empty sack and allow to dry.  Put in a bucket, add spices i.e kayan kanshi citta, cloves, kimba, dried pepper (optional) and grind it. Pour in a container with a lid.

           *RICE*
If you are using local rice, remove the dirts like stones, etc, Pour in a container and cover with a lid and keep for using.

    *GROUNDNUT PASTE*
You can make or buy your groundnut paste for kunun gyada and keep it for using.

     *MAIZE POWDER*
     (Garin tuwo)
Buy maize in large quantity and take it to the mill for grinding. Seive and pour in a container with a lid (cover). So that when you want to make your swallow (tuwo), you don't need to seive it. It saves time.

        *FOOD STUFF*
Buy foodstuff no matter how little it is and keep for using. Like rice, beans, oil, palm oil, stock cubes, seasonings, pasta, salt, sugar, milk, Bournvita or Milo,liptons, etc or you can use my recipe to make homemade Milo and Bournvita at home to reduce the expense of buying from shops.
