A while ago, I was at my sister’s and we wanted to make something very different from the regular macaroni dishes we are normally used to for our sons.
So we decided to use as many Nigerian spices that would be good for them.
And wow wow wow it had such a great taste.

Let me just go right ahead to the recipe. Just remember to save it for future reference and share with a mum who might need this.
