Notes:
You can purchase taro in Asian super markets , Indian supermarkets and African stores.-Achu spice can only be purchased at some African stores- mainly Cameroonian owned). Make sure your broth is flavorful (right amount of pepper , salt and maggie) -A little bit of smoked fish adds another dimension to this dish. Some people include crayfish -you may do so while boiling the meat -The key to a good achu soup is the right combination limestone and oil (if soup separates, then add a little bit of limestone and pulse again.
