Happy new year to my great people and to my great community plant power vagan I greet you all.

Today I made our local delicacy we call it ONU here in Nigeria and another name for ONU is three leaf yam. This our local food is very sweet and proteinous in nature.
It also has a natural sugar and starch which makes people love it.

My husband loves eating it anything am traveling to my village my husband must ask me to bring it for him. My mother in the other hand must give me three leaf yam to give to my husband because she knows that my husband loves eating it.

This season is the season of harvest and my mother just finished harvesting her three leave yam and we traveled to the village for Christmas my aim is to eat my three leaf yam once I arrive to village, my husband was in a hurry to go back to base my mother now promise my husband that I will bring his own when coming back.

I made this one now for me and my siblings because my mother has the largest three leaf yam farm here in my village.

Hi @nikky01

Happy New Year! A question: What is NGO?

NGO is an oil thickener gotten from burnt dry plantain peel when you get plantains you peel it dry the peel and burn them you now put them into a clean bowl add water after adding water you now firlt the water that water is NGO you can also make NGO from your palm fruit shells.

It is good that you explain this, especially in the post, because your recipes can be read by people from different parts of the world, who do not know this information; what's more, in the future you could make an NGO recipe, to better understand the procedure. Please edit your post, and include this NGO definition
