  1. 1

    Wash all the Meats properly.... Season with garlic, onions, shallot,black pepper, cubes and cook without the meat releases it's own juices/ water...

  2. 2

    Add water once it's almost Dried...add in the already wash Ponmo and allow to cook till the Meats are tender.. Next drain the meat and strain the stock...

  3. 3

    Place all the tomatoes,peppers and oinions in a blender, blend till very smooth, pour content into a pot and boil without turning till the water dries out and you are left with a thick reddish tomatoes paste

  4. 4

    Place a pot on fire, pour in the vegetable oil, low to heat up,. Add sliced oinions, stir, add chopped garlic stir quickly and lastly add the boiled tomatoes puree and stir properly... Allow to Fry up a bit,. Add the strained meat stock and stir..

  5. 5

    Once it boils, add done plain water and let it boil for about 5 mins.

    Stir, add in the Meats, crumbled stock cubes in, a little pit of curry powder, add salt if needed and stir up proper... Allow the Stew to cook till the water level drops and the oil starts to show on the top...

    Shake up the pot and remove from heat...You can add thyme if you so desire, but to get the real Buka Stew taste, I usually boil the meat with thyme and skip adding thyme to the Stew making process.
