Chai...ok lemme see what I can do:

500g bag of bean flour (or two cups - use a standard mug - of beans)
8 atarodo (cos I LAIK pepper!!!! You may add one Large bellpepper if you like)
One can of plum peeled tomatoes (or 4 large fresh ones you could use tomato puree as well, say half a can of the small DeRica)
One large serving spoon of crayfish (ground)
One mackerel / 5 hard boiled eggs (or both if you be longer throat)
One large onion (you may finely dice this, or blend with the pepper and tomatoes)
Maggi / Knorr 2 1/2 cubes (half to boil the mackerel)
Salt
6 serving spoons of palm or vegetable oil

Mackerel
Clean, cut and steam this in a cup of water. Remember to add the half stock cube, and salt to the pot before cooking. Be careful not to overcook the instant it starts turning white, take it off as you'll still cook it further in the microwave. Scatter the fish with your fingers, remove the bones and set aside.

Eggs
Boil and quarter these.

Pepper and tomatoes and onions
Blend all together, or finely dice the onions seperate

Beans
If you're using fresh beans, this is too much bloody hard work. Take beans (pick if dirty), rinse and soak for about ten mins or until the skin begins to wrinkle. wash beans vigorously, taking off all the skin. Separate beans from the chaff by putting lots of water in and allowing the chaff float. Decant this. You'll prolly do this a good number of times. Now blend the beans

At this point, you either have blended beans, or bean flour. Add the pepper and tomatoes and onions (blended or otherwise) to the bean flour or bean paste, add the crayfish, add the fish stock, add the salt (AFTER THE FISH STOCK O!!!), add the fish and the egs, add the oil, and stir it all in. If water is needed, add to thin the paste a bit. Remember, you want a thick "dropping" consistency. I say "dropping" because when you stir it and put some on a spoon to pour back into the bowl, it doesn't run like a tap but drops in QUICK clumps...I also do not know the word for this consistency ().

Stick in the microwave I used 385W for 30 mins. You're DONE!

This was harder work than doing the damn thing
