Even if I get rich before you I will still let you open that restaurant for me cos I’m going to register this Hajia Samira’s Zongo Special 🙆🏾‍♀️😂😂 I believe your head is now filled with this Waakye, maybe to gave you too much, next time I will reduce it😂 thanks so much for watching and sharing your experience.

[@Chef_emi]

This video is very refreshing to watch. Thanks for sharing. But I want to know how hard it is to cook all this on your own and also do you sell it on your own and how is likely for you to make for this batch?

[@bezalea]

Thanks for watching Kukua. Well, how hard would depend on one's abilities. For me as was fairly straightforward, it doesn't take much to make Waakye, as its just basically two main ingredients. Unfortunately I'm unable to give you figures as I didn't sell this one, I gave them out to friends and family. But just by eyeballing it I can say you would make a lot of profit on the quantity I made, there would be no loss and it yielded more than I used. I hope this helps. thanks again for watching.🙏🏾

[@mercymensah1819]

My concern is about the salt petre you put in,sometimes it causes running stomach

[@bezalea]

Sister Mercy I really do understand you paaa, I know lots of people with same problem. So what you can do is to omit it completely. The only difference would be the colour and that iconic aroma bit it will taste equally delicious. You can also use the sorghum leaves to give you the colour but with that if you not careful you Waakye will turn purple. I will bring you the leaves version soon. Thanks so much for your support 🙏🏾

[@mercymensah1819]

@@bezalea Thanks for replying,I know the leaves version,and do it perfectly,but the leaves are so expensive in the state now,that's why I was thinking of considering this method
