Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Gather and Prepare Ingredients

   The video introduces the ingredients: Poi Bhaji (also known as Callaloo), garlic paste, shallots (green onions), wiri-wiri pepper, salt, and onion.

2. 2.Wash and Cut the Poi Bhaji

   Wash the Poi Bhaji thoroughly under running water, removing any tough stems. If the stems are soft and young, they can be used. Cut the washed bhaji into small pieces.

3. 3.Chop Other Seasonings

   Chop half an onion, four stems of shallots, and one wiri-wiri pepper.

4. 4.Heat Oil and Sauté Aromatics

   Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a karahi (or pot) on medium heat. Add the chopped onion, shallots, wiri-wiri pepper, and 1 tablespoon of crushed garlic. Sauté for about 1.5 to 2 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.

5. 5.Add Poi Bhaji and Salt

   Add the chopped Poi Bhaji to the pot. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the bhaji. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

6. 6.Cook Covered (First Phase)

   Cover the pot and let the bhaji cook for about 2 minutes. The bhaji will shrink significantly as it cooks.

7. 7.Stir and Continue Cooking

   After 2 minutes, uncover and stir the bhaji. It will have released some liquid and reduced in volume. Cover again and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

8. 8.Final Check and Serve

   Uncover the pot. The bhaji should be fully cooked and tender. Taste and adjust salt if necessary. Serve hot.
