Ingredients:
3 cups dried caterpillars
200 ml cooking oil
2 medium sized tomatoes
1 medium sized onion
Salt to taste.
Method:
1. Wash caterpillars twice in cold water
2. Remove from cold water and soak in warm water
3. Allow the water to cool so that the caterpillars can be soft. Drain the water
4. Heat the oil in a sauce pan and fry them for 20 minutes
5. Add the grated tomatoes and onion. Cover and allow to cook for 10 minutes
6. Stir and add salt and cover for another 10 minutes
7. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
NB: We may fry the caterpillars to our desired texture, either dry soft or hard. Some of us prefer preparing ifinkubala without tomatoes and onion.
Serve with ubwali. This delicacy provides body building nutrients.
