Omi Atanifa Soup For New Moms

A pot of omi atanifa soup

This is a kind of soup made by the bode people of Edo state. It is also good for women that just delivered. Made this for a friend that delivered via CS so I used minimal pepper unlike the previous post partum pepper soup. Ingredients. Scent leaves. Uziza leaves. Spice( don't know the English names but the pictures are available) garlic. Pepper onions. Groundnut. Seasoning.  

Procedure. Wash the fish properly, pluck the leaves and wash properly to remove dirt. Blend or
grind the scent leaves uziza leaves pepper onions together. Pound the spices and garlic. Season the fish in a clean pot with garlic, salt and Maggi. Pour the ground paste on top. Allow to boil, heat up red oil and fry the ground groundnut.  Add the fired groundnut into the soup in little quantity as you stir.( pls don't put too much groundnut as some people believe that too much groundnut makes the baby purge)
