How To Make Banga Using Fresh Palm Kernel Fruit
Boil the palm kernel fruit for 30 minutes until it becomes soft.
Transfer the nuts into a mortar and pound gently, making sure you don’t break the nuts.
Pour some hot water over the pounded nuts, squeeze and use a sieve to strain out the extract – do this a couple of times until you get all the extract from the nut.
Pour the extract into a pot and boil until it thickens and the oil rises to the top. Then continue with the remaining process in this recipe below.
You can buy some of the ingredients I used in this recipe below:

Palm-nut concentrate
Oburunbebe stick
