medaase! this is amazing! Kontomire was my favorite dish in Ghana. As a vegetarian I really appreciate what you've done here. I have to try this! The faux egg is genius as well. Now I wonder where I could get taro root leaves in Denver. :) Might try to grow some. I always miss Ghana. The most wonderful humans.

[@kyerewaasveggiekitchen8292]

Great to see a vegetarian on this channel. Am also a proud one.

[@mathiasberchtenbreiter8864]

the leaves can be replaced with spinach

[@Itsuki.Takeuchi]

I love this ...finally a non greasy version and to top it off vegan at that...wow can't wait to share and make this for my family...yum! Thank you I love your cooking styles...👍🏼👍🏼

[@jessicaspilling5919]

Yay, so excited for vegan recipes! I’m in love with your vegan black shito recipe. This looks great and I’m going to make it today.

[@KENTOSI]

Oh wow we use this leave in Indian cooking! My mum uses it. I had no idea that it was the same leaf used in palava sauce!

[@sdxcdwsfc8446]

I like what she did with the tofu, I could use that in my other dishes. Excited to try it.

[@NanaabasKitchen]

Glad to know you love the tofu preparation! Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@marthafletcher7162]

I have learned so much from you, I am Mexican married to a ghanian and I never there to cook like back home, but with your help (step-by-step step) my husband loved everything. Light soup, kontomerie , Okra stew, and cauliflower banks! Thanks!!!!

[@KinnarisKitchen]

Very tasty sauce. Stay in touch.

[@Ishangi]

Nana Aba, you are the greatest! I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned a lot. You are replicating many of the dishes I've eaten in Ghana and given me more insight on how to prepare them traditionally, thank you so much. Red palm oil enhances brain function and is high in Vit A, among other benefits. Coconut oil and palm oils were getting a bad rap until recently. I enjoy embracing ancient traditions and the wisdom of our ancestors. Being a vegetarian, I liked the added tofu also. "Wya die."

[@NanaabasKitchen]

Thank you so much Akua 🙏🏽😘 I must say, I share same sentiments ❤️

I think this was a good start, but where are the seasonings: cayenne, curry/turmeric, thyme etc.? Will be looking forward to more videos :)

[@NanaabasKitchen]

Thank you for your feedback! I love cooking with the spices you mentioned when needed. In fact, you’ll find that I’ve incorporated such in most of my recipes on this channel. Much love!

[@gennysam824]

Looks yummy, please where can l get nkotomire in the U.S

[@NanaabasKitchen]

Genevieve, I bought mine from an oriental store. They usually carry a lot of different fresh produce.

[@xlisa040]

I don’t know if I can find kontomire/taro leafs in the Netherlands 😫

[@NanaabasKitchen]

You may substitute with spinach. Even I do that sometimes as the kontonmire is seasonal.

[@safira5477]

I bought mine today at the Haagse Markt. They sell some there.

[@VivianBreezy]

Is egusi optional?

[@NanaabasKitchen]

Yes, it is 🙏🏽

[@adjeikorankyeflorence9780]

Nanaba please what is that thing u fried, is it meat. Thank u

[@NanaabasKitchen]

Florence, it is a soy beans curd known as tofu.

[@akosuamensah5400]

Nana pls where can I get kontomire to buy in USA? Which store pls?

[@NanaabasKitchen]

I picked mine up from a vietamese/ Asian store called "Lee Lee's" in Chandler AZ. Most Asian super markets stock them. They are called "taro leaves" at these stores.

[@collinsadusei4505]

Agnes Dapaah Potakey you can get it in most of grocery store but with the name spinach it same Kontomire is that or any other synonyms

[@collinsadusei4505]

Freda, there’s been a lot of growth in this channel and I encourage you to search for the growth and hopefully, your next comment will lean more toward the positive and up building side of things🙏🏾 Check these videos out, there’s less talking kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5aco2B8l8R3hc0, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqebkKZvoZ2hr80,

Nonsense. Then skip it. Some people are just ridiculous

[@jenniferwalden525]

Not to criticise, but we never add carrots to palaver sauce, unless you are reinventing the wheel

[@sweetierene]

Says who mchewwwwwww.... she used coconut oil and added Tofu too and so??? unnecessary comment instead of learning something new and adding to what you know you there complaining that we never add carrots. Learn to learn something new.
