Dry Fish

Garden Eggs

Yakuwa 

Onions

Pepper

Tomatoes

Locust Beans

Crayfish

Palm Oil

Seasoning

Preparation

Rinse your vegetables 

Rinse your dry fish in warm salted water as usual. 

Rinse out your Acha(hungry rice) preferably with a calabash to remove the sand and stones and put in a sieve for the water to strain out. 

Slice your Spinach and Yakuwa. When slicing the vegetables for Paten Acha, slice them in large sizes of about 2 inches in width

Chop the Garden Eggs into large chunks

Procedure

Place a pot water on fire and add Onions, pepper, tomatoes, fish, crayfish, seasoning, locust beans and palm oil

Cover the pot and allow to cook for 15 minutes. 

Pour in your Acha and allow to cook for about 15 minutes. When cooking Paten Acha, measure the right quantity of acha and put water in moderation because Acha soaks up a lot of water and rises. 

After 15 minutes, put your vegetables (garden eggs, yakuwa and spinach) in and stir well. Yakuwa gives the food a sour taste. 

Cover and allow to cook for 5 minutes

Serve and enjoy your meal of Paten Acha.
