HOW TO MAKE SMOKED PANLA SAUCE FOR RICE
Nigerian Panla is also known as red codfish. This smoked codfish sauce is cooked almost like a stir fry with green pepper, some onion, and other vegetables.
Because the fish is already smoked, there is no need for long cooking.
This cooks almost as soon as the pot is placed on the stovetop. You can choose to add a little water for more sauce or just serve the way you want it.
If your family is large like mine, you’ll need some drops of water in there to make enough stew for everyone.
If kids are not the main participants of the dining table, then feel free to add lots of pepper
Unlike the panla fish sauce served with rice moin moin, this recipe did not include locust beans but you can add some if you want to.
Low cost easy to make smoked fish sauce Kpanla
It tends to taste like the stews, it’s cooked in.
Panla smoked fish sauce is really delicious. You already know by now that for me, if it’s not really what I enjoy eating, I’ll warn you ahead of time.
This one here is worth trying. The first time I made kpanla smoked fish stew was the day I cooked blended rice moi moi. Something tells me that the smoked fish sauce is another reason that rice moi moi was rushed.
I had to make another pot of smoked fish sauce but this time without dadawa (Locust beans) to serve with rice. Why? The way they eat and give reviews on the rice and sauce will let me know whether to share the recipe with you guys or just forget it and look for yummy recipes to create.
So, I boiled rice, we made the sauce and served, also kept tomato stew aside for those who may not enjoy the smoked fish sauce.
Honestly, the pot of sauce emptied into the craving tummies even before the tomato stew went halfway and that was all the reviews I needed to post this recipe and let other families too enjoy the deliciousness.
There are many recipes for different sauces on this blog. We have served rice with beef sauce, shredded chicken sauce, Jamaican Sauce, vegetable sauce, fish sauce, snail sauce, and even gizzard sauce. You can try any of our sauce recipes and please let us know how they turn out.
