Hello Friends and Fellow Foodies
Once again I have come up with another video as requested by a few of how to cook this delicious stew called Ata dindin with fried beef. It is of Nigerian Origin that is widely enjoyed in many parties.
You can make this with either fried fish or fried chicken. The stew is meant to be very thick and sweet from the way it is prepared.
Guests at parties and events I have catered for have enjoyed this stew immensely. I have been frequently asked of how I cook this Souldeliciouz stew but I just have not found the time to put it together.
I have now and thank you for waiting. It will be so worth it once you make it yourself.
I am happy and chuffed when I get requests like these and more than happy to share this recipe with you all.
So enjoy!
