  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, and add the palm oil. Add the onion, pepper, and tomatoes, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  4. Combine the cooked purée, meat, and bitterleaf in a pot. Add enough water to cover everything.
  5. Add the daddawa, stir the soup well, and cook for 3 more minutes over low heat.
  6. Season with salt to taste and serve.
