Equipment
- pressure cooker
- aluminum foil

Ingredients
- peeled black-eyed peas
- Palm oil
- Magic Sauce (or 1 Maggi cube)
- fresh chili pepper (to taste)
- Water
- Salt
Instructions
- Die Bohnen in einer großen Schüssel waschen, dann viel Wasser dazu geben und ca. 20 - 30 Minuten einweichen lassen
- Then, repeatedly separate the skin from the beans by pouring out the water with the skin and adding new water until no skin remains
- Place the beans in a blender with the chili pepper, Magic Sauce and something lukewarm, and blend into a dough
- Place in a bowl, mix well with salt and palm oil until the dough has a homogeneous deep orange color
- Add a little lukewarm water if necessary (should the dough be too thick)
- Cover the bottom of a large pot, either with a smaller pot lid or with a plate, so that the koki does not directly touch the bottom of the pot later.
- Add water and bring to a boil
- In the meantime, prepare a bowl, first with aluminum foil, then with baking foil
- Place one-third of the koki dough into the baking foil and seal with a rubber band, then protect the whole thing with aluminum foil
- Place in a pot with boiling water, cover, and cook for about 1 hour, adding more water occasionally.
- After 1 hour, remove the koki from the foil, cut it into pieces and arrange it. Done
