Healthier way to fry my chicken!

 By Akwe Mabs

I recently bought this airfryer and decided to try it out! The result was amazing!

It is easy to use and very convenient .Even more exciting is the fact that little or no oil is required.

I  washed and cleaned the chicken (drumpsticks) very well. I seasoned the chicken with

1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 onion, teaspoon of crushed garlic, black pepper, white pepper (optional),  teaspoon of dried rosemary and chicken cube .

Generally, I like to steam my chicken before frying it. So  I placed the chicken in a pot and cooked it for 8minutes. Then I removed it, slightly coated the chicken with coconut oil for extra flavouring and transferred it into the airfryer.  I set it to 200 degrees and allowed it for 10 minutes and see how good it looks.

Lately, I have been making efforts to eat a variety of vegetables.  In this video , I stir-fried a mixture of vegetables including, cauliflower, broccoli, kale, carrots and zucchini. I love fresh mushrooms so I added some of  it.

I carefully washed, drained and chopped all the vegetables.

Then I placed the non stick fry-pan on the cooker, added  table spoon of olive oil, half onion  plus garlic, a teaspooon of black and white pepper . I then added the mushroom, and then the rest of the vegetables.

I let it fry for about 5minutes  and every thing turned out really nice , crunchy and tasty! 

I served the vegetables with some boiled white rice and it was very delicious!

Please try this and let me know what you think.

Puff puff and Beans!

By Akwe Mabs

Many people just love to eat puff puff and beans. This is widely described as a Cameroonian delicacy. Puff puff and beans is served as a breakfast option, for  lunch or during events featuring or hosted by Cameroonians. Puff puff is also served as a snack.

Growing up I saw many women making and selling puff puff and beans in my community. Profits from the business went a long way to ensure the livelihood for these women and for their families.

Puff Puff and beans - as a business- is a lucrative venture till  date in Cameroon.

 But how is it prepared ? It is so easy! In my household, my children enjoy eating puff puff and beans so  I often prepare it.

I was checking online this morning and I stumbled  on this recipe and  I would like to share it with you. It is taken from Mbamba's Kitchen and could serve as a guide to lovers of puff puff who are yet to actually prepare it. Click here for details on how to make puff puff.*
