Nice one there. 2 questions where can I get the mint leaves and also why did you add the fried tomato to the chicken stock.
Beautiful meal sis Eya. Can one cook this with fried fish? I love mint but too much of it can over power d taste of d food. U like plenty pepper, I counted like 7 hot peppers u cooked b4 blending.
I love that zest that mint gives to our tomato stew. Nice one, Eya.

You can get mint leaves at the open market. It's usually sold by the women who sell condiments for igbo soups. Just ask them for scent leaf. You can also get it at supermarkets like spar and shoprite, it's labelled mint leaves there.
Thank you Anon
My dear Anon, the tomato was getting too much for the fry pan and started to splash everywhere on the cooker, I had to reduce it that way.
Thank you Sister Lizzy. Yes you can cook with fried fish. I don't like too much mint leaves too that's why I added sparingly. It gives a very delicious taste when added sparingly.
My sis, that pepper eh, when the kids saw it, they demanded I take some out or give them indomie noodles to eat. I had to take three out before blending.
No, I only boiled the tomatoes o, the pepper and tatashe were added there when I was about to blend. I don't boil pepper and tatashe before blending.
Thank you Myne. I love it too.
Yes Bona, I love pepper but not too much.

Ukaa I see you…lol, dnt worry its a question of tym…Mma.
please people of WC i dont want to come across as over sabi bt i have noticed that you people refer to scent leaves as "mint". Its actually called BASil LEAVES in english. It not the same as mint. Mint taste and smell sort of like toothpaste. Madam Eya please take note its scent leaves in pidgin, efirin in yoruba, nchanwu in igbo and Basil leaves in english. Thank you
