These spicy balls are just divine. The spicy kick in them is amazing and a very great metabolism booster for people on weight loss journeys. The great part is, they are also very easy to make. All you need 100 g Peanut butter Powdered cloves Powdered ginger Powdered cayenne pepper Powdered cinnamon Honey How to make it Firstly, I did not add the exact measurements for the spices and honey because you will need to adjust them to suit your taste buds. So, in bowl. mix peanut butter with a couple pinches of the spices and honey to taste. Taste and spice them as you wish. Then make into balls by rolling them in your palm. Pls Note: The powdered spices helps to bind the peanut butter together. You can add very small quantities of the spices, then reduce the quantity of the peanut butter or add peanut flour to help bind them and make the perfect looking balls. This recipe is mostly according to your taste buds, feel free to adjust the peanut butter and spices.

Believe me, you do not want to know all that goes on in my keittiö (means kitchen in Finnish language). Honestly, sometimes I even surprise myself with all these experimenting and recipe testings. But the truth is, I really enjoy it. No matter how tired or sick I may be, cooking is always the remedy. It simply calms my soul, whether the recipes fails or not: I am left feeling happy and at peace. So, like any other Sunday, I found myself craving for some traditional fufuo but could not make it due to my low carb diet. (Ps. I am only dieting because of lack of exercise to keep my weight under control). I looked into the fridge and found two big beetroots staring back at me (lol). And the rest, is how we; hubby and myself enjoyed this Konkonte-like tasting beetroot fufuo with some spicy light soup. Easy recipe for you to try and I must mention and stress that, the secret ingredient here is Psyllium husks . It high in fiber and a great binding ingredient. Explore with any root v...

The secret to making this Ghanaian favourite breakast/lunch/dinner meal is simple. As simple as making a salt solution for the eggs and vegetables mixture. Yes, never add salt straight to the egg mixture. I dont know why but maybe because in Ghana, we use huge chunks of sea salt so one has to first disolve them in water and then add a few teaspoon to the egg.  This method is also a favourite way for seasoning eggs for the many street food vendors as it is economical. Personally, this is an old habbit that I haven't been able to break since migrating to Finland. Everytime I thinknof making this easy and delicious mea, the first thing I make, is the salt solution so the water takes up the salt as much as possible. The rest of the ingredients are, fresh tomatoes, onion and eggs. That simple. Slice tomatoes and onion. Add into a bowl wih eggs. Season with the salt water and beat with a fork for at least 1 minute. Beating the eggs will guarantee the fluffiest Ghanaian omel...

There are two types of this popular Ghanaian street drink . Made mainly from caramelized sugar and the fermented stock from soaked corns. Type one uses the just the boiled stock from the corn, exactly the recipe I used for mine; or type two, where the fermented corn is blended together with the stock, cooked, then sieved for a much thicker fermented stock. I used the type one for this recipe from a fond memory of my high school days with this kenkey vendor who uses the fermented stock from her corn to make this delicious drink and reward her regular good customers. I remember we would put our monies together after some hot kenkey to buy evaporated milk to enjoy with the chilled asaana as dessert. I'm salivating over this memory, it was so good. Also, I am still on my low carbohydrate diet (not that it helped me in any way :( ). I added a touch of lemon to this recipe for extra refreshing taste and I practically had to refrain myself from gulping it all down at once. You m...

As a lazy cook, I am always on the look out for easy but delicious recipes. Fortunately, my Ghanaian spices saves my days like this fried tilapia. I marinated the fish for less than 10 minutes and it was still amazingly delicious so you can imagine if you give its marinating time for at least 1 hour. I simply blended my spices and vegetables together, marinated the tilapia covered and shallow fried it until cooked. This delicious tilapia will be best eaten with some hot Ghanaian banku or kenkey and spicy chili sauces but I happily ate this on my low carb diet just on its on with some spicy m3ko  (Ghanaian red pepper sauce) and some salad. Simple and delicious. All you need: 1-2 Tilapia 50 g fresh ginger 2 tablespoons chili powder or paprika for a less spicy marinade 3 garlic cloves 1 teaspoon powdered cloves or 10 whole cloves 1 small onion Lemon juice Salt How to make it Clean ingredients and add into a blender. Add bits of lemon juice and blend into your ...
