Ingredients needed

🌻Natural pepper soup spice (to your desired taste)
🌻Salt to taste
🌻Small sized Ginger
🌻4cups Water
🌻 Scent leaf for garnishing
🌻 Small piece of alum for washing the snail (not for cooking)



Procedure

Am fully aware that some people do love their snail prepared with the shell but in my own case, I love to remove the shell and wash properly before preparing my dish,
These dish took about 30minute, it took these long due to the time used in breaking the shell one after the another.
