Thank you for showing me how to cook pondu

[@gracegrace5168]

Hi lady i'm a congolese lady...will like to add a small advice concerning when you should add the pilchard...it's better at the end when the pondu is completely cook in order to keep the flavour

[@letsCOOKwithELLE]

Hiya, thank you for your comment and suggestion. I don't really like to taste the flavour of pichard so much in my pondu to be honest, that's why I cook like I do.

[@springtempo446]

You don’t add aubergine?

[@letsCOOKwithELLE]

I used to but I don't like the way it makes pondu taste so I stopped adding it

[@cedricnzola2810]

TOKOSSSS na loso

[@musafawundu6718]

Compared to West African cassava leaves (Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, CI, Bissau), Congolese/Central African cassava leaves are not thoroughly pounded... Check out the videos on West African cassava leaves to see the difference...

[@Owacampus]

I love you babe

[@mteokay1246]

I can't find a recipe with real cassava leaves from the plant .. just the packaged kind

[@letsCOOKwithELLE]

It’s hard to get unfrozen cassava leaves where I live as well as many European countries. They don’t last to long when they’re fresh that’s why companies pick, wash and pound them mostly back in Africa, pack and freeze them so we can also enjoy our home-food. The process in cooking fresh or frozen cassava leaves isn’t that different, you just need to pick it, wash thoroughly then pound. The rest of the process is really much the same. Hope this helps.

[@jordank1998]

Nutmeg is NOT used in pondu yaya , you didn’t use aubergine which is a MUST in pondu and the pilchards is added towards the end as it’s already cooked.

[@letsCOOKwithELLE]

Thank you for your comment, this is how I love to cook my pondu, you are free to cook yours your way as well.

[@thechronicgeneralist]

The knife skills had me sweating... Luckily no fingers were used in the making of this recipe.
