Greetings everybody and Happy Sunday all, how are you doing all? I hope you are all doing great, today I'm sharing with you in this very community how I prepare my delicious Sunday Otor mboro ( unripe porridge Banana)
Otor mboro is a native dish from Akwa Ibom State. It is lumpy porridge made with nkim mboro (unripe bananas), which has various nutritious and health benefits. Unripe/green banana is a rich source of iron, resistant starch, potassium, and pectin.
Otor mboro is commonly eaten by nursing mothers, especially in Akwa Ibom, because of the benefits I’ve mentioned above. Babies transitioning to solids are also fed this food. In their case, the food is prepared without the pepper but with more crayfish and palm oil.
