STEP 13: Ta-da! Your Miyan Taushe is ready to be served.
It mostly goes with Tuwon Shinkafa preferably, but other swallows too like Eba, pounded yam, and all the classes of Tuwo could go with it just fine as well.
Traditionally, Miyan Taushe is usually dished with Tuwon Masara (a meal prepared with maize flour), Tuwon Shinkafa (a meal prepared with rice, mostly short-grained rice), Tuwon Alkama (a meal prepared with wheat flour), and Tuwon Dawa (a meal prepared with guinea corn flour).
It tastes best when served hot.
Traditionally, Miyan Taushe can be enjoyed on occasions like Eids, Naming Ceremony, or any festival. In addition, it could also serve as a basic meal. Some prefer to eat it on a Friday as lunch to mark the day well.
This type of soup can be best stored in the refrigerator. In the absence of a refrigerator, you will need to be warming it mornings and evenings to avoid spoilage. More so, it can last for months in the refrigerator as long as there is constant electric power, unlike without it.
It contains almost all of the classes of food we have: protein and minerals because of the meat and/or fish, and peanuts; vitamins because of the vegetables; lipids because of the oil; water, etc.
The above-mentioned procedures for making Miyan Taushe when followed carefully will give a promising result. I guarantee it for you. Now that you know how to prepare Miyan Taushe, when will you try preparing it?
