Well, either way, the use of potash works well for me but it also has to be used in moderation or it will kill the elasticity of the okro. Each time I make ila alasepo, I use potash maybe because my mum always says you must add potash to make it draw. I sometimes blend my okra on a pulse for a coarse texture to make plain okra and it always turns out well without the need for potash. In fact, some people are anti-potash in food. These days you necessarily don’t need potash (kaun) to make okro soup draw. Call me old school but I still chop my okro the way my mama taught me. The proof in the pudding of an okro soup is when it draws (elastic). I made this okro soup on Sunday after church and I couldn’t help but share with my fellow foodies. My mama makes the best okro soup ever, whether plain or the one-pot soup and she doesn’t mess about in the kitchen, she knows her onions.
