How to make eshabwe / Ankole traditional white sauce from cow ghee

Eshabwe is a prestigious sauce made from aged cow ghee, water and rock salt, it is usually served on I distinguished members of the family/clan or guests and on big functions, it originated from ankole region in the western part of Uganda, common in the cattle keeping bahima tribe but became significant that everyone enjoyed it. There may be different ways of making depending on where one comes from but the ingredients and result remain the same. Finger licking good 🤗, it’s commonly served with karo (milllet bread) but can also be eaten with anything else one may like.
In. This video youll see the process and learn a few tips on how to make the perfect eshabwe for you, your family, or your guests.
I hope you enjoy.
Important tips:
👉🏿the water is not hot but it’s boiled
👉🏿the ghee is aged and not frozen before (kept in Ensimbo a traditional calabash cut mainly to store ghee) is better
👉🏿 use crushed rock salt or resolve it in the water but find a balance
👉🏿it won’t take 2mins so some patience and energy

When all the ghee has broken down and it’s white, you add iodized table salt and mix or put in the last water you add and mix well. Think I forgot to mention

[@user-wx2sw8vk1b]

Thought i knew how to make it but didnt know about using akatimba

[@TheCookingNurse]

There are many ways to make food, the same food so don’t worry about this method it’s one of the many.

[@atukundajustine5658]

Thanks so much but I have not seen the Sieving part before mixing in the roasted meat

[@TheCookingNurse]

What is the reason for sieving? To remove impurities. If there are no impurities should you still sieve? The ghee was put directly in a net too so it does the sieving from the beginning. Am I answering?

[@jenbalaba7132]

Is there a specific reason for the magadi ?

[@TheCookingNurse]

That’s the actual ingredient, it’s the emulsifier without the ghee can’t turn

[@lolasobande8663]

What's the millet fufu called, please?

[@TheCookingNurse]

It’s called millet bread,in my language it’s called karo

[@KINGANNEvlogs]

It looks sooo good🥲

[@TheCookingNurse]

Thank you, have you ever tested it?

[@KINGANNEvlogs]

@@TheCookingNurse neverrrr , I’m looking for a good place in Kampala that makes it🥹

[@kisakye296]

How long can I store eshabwe incase I have made a lot? How aged should the ghee be, a month, a week, a year ?

[@TheCookingNurse]

Eshabwe is good if eaten immediately but if not a day to two. The ghee doesn’t age with Time, you work it to grow it so maybe a months old one can be a good start

[@ephraimgates901]

Am actually missing it already

[@TheCookingNurse]

😆😆

[@agathatukamuhebwa8698]

But where did akatimba go, did you remove later or

[@TheCookingNurse]

Yes t was attached to the wooden spatula so it goes all out

[@anitasenjie7434]

Hello. Thx for the video. What if I use an electronic hand mixer. Coz mhen, mixing for that long 😒

[@TheCookingNurse]

[@damonmusicacademy5432]

If your mixer doesn't emit heat then it would do but if it does your ghee will melt

[@Nassoziaminah]

I think hand mixer can work

[@evazitta5698]

Can't I use an electric whisker? 😫

[@TheCookingNurse]

Ofcos you can
