How To Eat Nigeria’s Fried Fish (with Garri!)

TubeMan — Tue, 26 Sep 2017 15:33:20 +0000

Nigerian food is some of the best in the world with one of the tastiest cuisines. So BattaBox finds out how to cook and eat our famous “Fried Fish And Garri”.

Firstly, coat the fresh fish in flour and deep fry so it’s in a tasty batter for about five minutes. Our street chef recommends using plenty of oil and a wood fired heat.

Make sure you can hear that delicious, mouth-watering, crackling sound.

Take a big spoon and then ladle the fried fish out of the oil. But be careful the oil is hot. Nigeria food likes plenty of oil, often palm oil. This will then soften the fried fish and bones.

Fried Fish and Garri in Nigeria used to cost between 10-20 Naira, but in the recent recession, costs have gone up to over 100 Naira. But still, most fresh Lagos street food fried fish and garri will be sold out in maybe ten minutes. Plenty of customers will come when they smell the aroma.

“I like to take two pieces of fried fish and garri because I’m a BattaBox big boy who likes his Nigeria food!” says Warri Pikin.

“Things are very hard in this country o,” says one customer who has come for his Nigeria food. “So fried fish and garri is cheap and plentiful.”

Garri is a popular Nigeria food, a staple, made from cassava flakes. To make the Garri, wash it in water or milk, and then mix with sugar.

“In the current Nigerian economy, this is normal Nigeria food!” says the customer.

Do you enjoy Nigeria food? What do you think of fried fish and Garri?

TubeMan — Fri, 10 Feb 2017 09:18:57 +0000

On this week’s episode of Mama Put Chronicles, Adeola visits a highly recommended bukka between Opebi and Allen Avenue, Ikeja.

Her order?

Jollof rice, fish, egg and her favourite – beans.

Her comments?

“The customer care service was not fantastic…the place was neat…the table had cutlery…The place was really nice,” Adeola is impressed.

“The food was 500 naira and it was small! In this Buhari economy if we are going to spend 500 naira at least give me plenty food!” Adeola laments.

“The jollof rice was SPOT ON! You know that kind of jollof rice…wedding, party jollof rice? It had that smoke ingredient, that jollof rice that you know that it was sweat that made that jollof rice sweet! ” she adds.

Mama Put Chronicles: Episode 1

TubeMan — Fri, 27 Jan 2017 09:15:33 +0000

We all know Nigerians LOVE food!

We can do just about anything for amala, jollof rice, efo riro and of course some mineral to wash it down in one swift motion, followed by a loud sigh accompanied by the caressing of a bursting belly.

So gobbling up the meals isn’t a problem…The question is where are the best places in Nigeria to balance well and chop?

BattaBox has decided to save you time and money by sending our in house foodie, Adeola, to various mama puts (in case you’re ajebo, a mama put is basically a bukka/roadside restaurant, where Nigerians eat lunch, breakfast and dinner) to taste the food for you.

“How can something that looks so good, taste so bad?” Adeola exclaims after sampling some jollof.

Not only does Adeola review the actual meal, she also grades the environment and the restaurant as a whole out of 10 so YOU know the places that serve the most SCRUMPTIOUS meals and the restaurants you should AVOID like the plague!

“They had a gutter there, right in front of the restaurant, that wasn’t looking nice, that was very smelly!” Adeola laments.

We hope this review was useful for you.

Thanks for watching!

Where To Find Best Boli And Fish In Nigeria!

TubeMan — Wed, 07 Dec 2016 08:58:56 +0000

Boli and fish is a meal that is eaten all over Nigeria. It can be enjoyed as a snack, shared with friends or eaten alone for lunch or dinner.

The sweet taste of the ripe plantain blends perfectly with the peppery fish making it one of the most popular meals in the country.

BattaBox has been hearing rumours though, about where to find the best boli and fish in Nigeria and apparently the place to search is Port Harcourt.

So BattaBox hit the Port Harcourt streets, to find out from the boli makers themselves…

Where to get the best boli and fish in Port Harcourt and what makes the boli in Rivers State so much tastier than everywhere else?

“If you taste this boli, you will forget this your interview and start selling this boli, it’s a very nice business, you can see people are even patronising us from everywhere,” one man promises as a customer grabs something from the fire.

“We sure can see, they are actually taking the chicken away from it though,” McCreeda says.

“The way we prepare it, the onion…slice it, put oil, pepper…and if you have money, you buy coke,” the same man responds when McCreeda asks him what makes his boli so special.

Have you tasted the boli and fish in Rivers State?

How was it? Was it as delicious as everyone says it is?

TubeMan — Fri, 09 Sep 2016 11:06:32 +0000

BattaBox loves Nigerian food – anywhere you can find it in the world – and we find it in some wonderful places. So we asked our Canada presenter to look for some Nigerian Suya in Toronto.

“My suya just arrived and I can’t wait to try it!” says BattaBox presenter Precious.

The Nigeria Suya joint is run by Taiwo Ajala in Toronto who is a great promoter of Nigerian food and wants it to become a household brand.

“I want suya to be as popular as jerk chicken and everyday we keep suya-ising people!” says Taiwo.

And from the reaction of all his customers on the day BattaBox visited – he’s well on his way!

Do you enjoy Nigerian food? Do you know other places in Canada to by African food? Gist us o.

LOL:Oyinbo Boy Eats Nigerian Food For The First Time

TubeMan — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 06:00:00 +0000

Nigerians travel around the world everyday and they try out different cuisines from western countries, but would still choose Nigerian food over every other meal any day. But do people in western countries know what Nigerian food actually taste like?

BattaBox presenter Lolade takes her oyinbo (white) friend Sean to a Nigerian restaurant in Staten Island, New York where he tries Nigerian food for the first time.

“I’m going to order you pounded yam, egusi soup and you have to try the jollof rice,” says lolade as she made her order.

To eat Nigerian food you have to have some certain skills, some of which are getting your hands dirty and knowing how to eat spicy or peppery food as Nigerians call it.

“Its slightly spicy but also sweet,” says Sean as he tried out the Jollof rice

“You have to eat it with all your fingers,” Lolade teaches him how to eat pounded yam.

But he then tried to use all ten fingers..lol

We don’t know how much Sean enjoyed the food, but he seemed satisfied.

Watch and enjoy…
