About this tip
Ukodo is an Urhobo pottage of yam, sometimes with unripe plantain, cooked in a peppery soup base with goat meat and lemon grass. The Itsekiri neighbours make a similar dish called epuru. It is served at weddings and funerals and as a breakfast in the cold season, so the drier months from November are the best time to ask for it. Ask the kitchen whether it is cooked that day, and say how hot you want it.
