Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

People should note that there are two varieties of atama - one is more bitter and needs to be blanched with hot water and washed till the bitterness comes off , while the other is not bitter.

[@DNVlogsLife]

Thank you so much for mentioning it. I have never heard of this

[@stellaetuk2120]

You're right ✅

[@tee_obi]

Wow. I had no idea

[@sylviawillington8469]

@Romari the other leave you are talking about is called Editan not atama, thanks.

[@gracebassey8935]

Actually 3 types. There's one type my mother planted. The leaves are dark green and quite bitter. But if you wash it with hot water, it gives you a very sweet after taste in the mouth . I hardly find that specie around.

[@oshamaushie8034]

Our Calabar delicacy.. Efere Abak. Mfi(periwinkle) with the shell makes more sense. 😋😋😋😋

[@mamapatdontoh6444]

God has bleessed your Country with a great variety of foods and goodness from His KINGDOM . Stay blessed and thanks for sharing beautiful and healthy foods with your numerous subscribers 😇 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jenniferd.7646]

Wow! This uyaya is called "prekese" in Ghana and "4 côtés" (four sides) in Côte d'Ivoire. In Côte d'Ivoire, it's mostly used as traditional medicine to boost fertility. One love❤🇬🇭🇳🇬🇨🇮

[@ugochiumunna9714]

What is atama leaf?

[@tee_obi]

Really. We learn everyday

[@missfranniepants]

Thank you! I have some in my cabinet, but I never knew what it was called.

[@libreville05]

We use it to treat period cramps in Gabon

[@bigakosua]

[@josephunyime6982]

Sisi yemmie is in Akwa ibom, This Atama soup is born again.

[@TheTintress]

In Zambia we call it village chicken or ex layer chicken. We boil it for 30min or more. It's very tasty compared to the regular chicken we get.

[@justinauwah7741]

Just when I needed this most. Just came back from the market with atama ingredients and boom 'the notification of this pops up" oh my goodness 👍❤️

[@RuthAde]

I have been waiting for this recipe for a very long time. Beautifully presented as always. This is my native soup, it is known to people from Akwaibom. We have the fresh and dry Atama, the aroma is heavenly. Thank you for bringing this to youtube.

[@nneomaakujobi4400]

I'm Igbo and I grew up knowing Uyaya as Shokirisho. Very enticing recipe.

[@stellaetuk2120]

Sisi Yemi you got the abak soup so right. Now I want to cook abak soup

[@amazinggracegreaterglory.8992]

That native pot just brought back some memories of how I received several beatings for breaking my grandmother's pot and her water pot. And also, serving this soup with the native pot will add extra flavor and deliciousness to the soup.

[@libreville05]

In Gabon we call Banga " Nyambwê"

[@AmarasKitchen]

Am really missing this Periwinkle more than anything in this world right now. I have lost memory of the last time I had one. I will really enjoy this recipe with white rice oo 😋

[@sweetspice9120]

You can get dry perwinkle on Etsy

[@eatwithafia]

The Uyaya is prekese in Ghana. It has medicinal properties and we use it in our palm nut soup. If you have access to open fire, lightly touch it to release more flavours 👌🏾👌🏾

[@ROLLWITHMABEL1084]

I have never heard of such name before but to be frank with you this soup is a must try for me, I love how you serve it in a clay pot, the presentation was perfect, thanks so much for sharing Ma’am.

[@amygraceysdiary007]

I'm here for the consistency sisi yemisi😍😍😍😍

[@ibiwunmiadegun5176]

The last time I ate Atama soup was when I was about 8years old....I must make this tomorrow...thank you sisi

[@oyinlicious9250]

Seriously anytime I watch your video my mind always pray for you I really like you

[@Ejisfoodkorner]

The fresh chicken will take the flavor to a whole new level, the soup is loaded with delicious medemedes, I can the banga extract is really good, well prepared and presented, deliciousness gorgeous SisiYemmie ❤️👍🏾

[@ihama99]

So Banga soup with Veggies. Nigerians sha. Great video as always

[@winnifredawuah8622]

Wow this looks good and I bet it tastes nice 👌🏾 It’s called Palmnut soup in my country Ghana 🇬🇭 and we mostly enjoy it with fufu,rice balls,boiled yam/ripe plantain and also boiled rice the taste is always amazing when there’s leftover the next day 😋. Thanks for sharing 💞

[@FERESE]

We use palm nut for Banga soup with banga spices and beletete leaf eaten with banku(pounded starch and plantain) and it's a staple in Delta state. In South East Nigeria, palm nut is used for ofe-aku soup, the spice and vegetables used is different from banga. In Calabar, Akwa-ibom, palm nut is used for today's recipe and the spice and vegetables used is different from the two soups above. I'm sure some other regions use palm nut for their soups but these are the the popular recipes.

[@elizabethchukwumah6793]

Very nice and your method is self explanatory. It's my favourite calabar soup will make it and relish with authentic pounded yam.

[@donnapemberton2474]

Sisi this meal looks sooooo delicious ,ohhhhh how I look African food, my children are grown now, but they can tell of the African dishes I have learnt from you,you show joy and art of cooking .Thank you sisi

[@unyinokom5674]

@sisi Yemeni 😀next time don't cut corners it's calabar and akwa ibom peoples soup, it's one of their native soup (abak atama) so give it to them 😀😀

[@yournajesty2906]

i have never heard of half these ingredients i might as well just go to a restaurant 😩 i want to try so many different Nigerian dishes. looks delish! ❤️

[@yournajesty2906]

@@GemGem12 it really does. it seems very complex and time consuming. i love cooking so i dont mind that but i wish i had access to all these ingredients. i thought periwinkle was just a color 🤣

[@gracechinedu4694]

[@funmiamarvi]

Your pot is fine! Fantastic video too. Thanks for sharing this recipe! 😍😍😍

[@agnesobi9419]

@SisiYemmie, You got cooking the Abak soup so right. Have you tried eating it with Rice apart from swallow.? It's BAE for me!. It reminds me of village while growing up as a kid. I love Abak Atama anytime, anyday..Another way to enjoy it is cook the Atama with Water leave. You'll love that too. But, with Abak it makes me eat more than enough. Thanks for taking me back home. My boys love this soup so much. The Uyakak is also a constant K in my pantry.

[@nsikakntekpere5421]

Abak is Calabar language meaning banga, so you are preparing banga soup with atama. You can also prepare atama with okro or even water leaves. It is one of the best soup in Nigeria. Thanks for sharing

[@charchef7588]

I am here for sisiyemmie's cookware please. I love the soup 🍲🍲🍲. They look like black clay pots.
