that is Akara in that pix just that it is/was deeply fried or the person dey NL and forgot it. also maybe the person used high instead of medium fire while frying it. the first set of akara i made last saturday looked like that as it was burnt Puff puff would have been shiny. so it is not puff puff but akara in that pix. Aloy, same here if my mom make ogbono soup for you eh, |

Re: Showcasing Igbo culture by Nobody: 12:09am On Mar 13, 2009 |
It looks like puff puff to me. Akara is usually flatter than puffpuff. Those ones look round like puff puff. |

Ile Omugwo This is an age old Igbo custom. When a woman is pregnant and her due date approaches, her mother comes in to stay with her for the birth and at least 2 months post-partum. Her mother (the grandma) bathes the baby, does all the cooking, and also bathes the new mother helping her massage the necessary areas with hot water. A special delicacy the woman eats at this time is[b] ji mmiri (mmili) oku uda i.e yam peppersoup[/b] with 2 special spices called uda and uziza In Anambra area, it is called ofe nsala, a very light thickner( e.g a piece of mashed yam) is used and is usually eaten with pounded yam. The soup is filled with dried fish (mangala), stock fish (okporoko) and sometimes beef. It is hot hot hot and the hot pepper and uda and uziza they say is expected to help the woman's body heal from the stress of childbirth. The new mother is not expected to lift a finger during omugwo or go outside. she just eats and nurses her baby and others take care of the chores and she cannot have sex with her husband during this period. How wonderful,how forefathers knew even before medical science about postnatal. Most of us put on weight at omugwo I didn't have the luxury of my mom being with me at Omugwo. I struggled by myself and my man cooked the ji mmili oku with uda and uziza and okporoko and brought it to the hospital each time with plenty of left over at home and he did a good job. Traditionally,after the mom leaves,the mother in law then comes to stay for her own omugwo visit. Women whose mothers are bereaved usually have an aunt or older sister do the omugwo. when the visit is over,the grandma or whoever did the omugwo goes home with new wrappers,blouses and a lot of other goodies because it's assumed that the new baby has ruined all her wrappers with urine and feces. |
