Where can I source for the spices used in making Banga soup?

How do you extract palm fruit for Banga soup?
Wash your palm fruits and put in a pot. Boil washed palm fruits for 20 minutes or until soft. Crush boiled palm fruits in a food processor or with a mortar and pestle. Transfer crushed palm fruits into a bowl and add water to extract the juice/cream.
Why is my Banga sou watery?
Banga soup becomes too watery when too much water is added during the palm fruit extraction process. Ensure your palm fruit extract is thick, with the consistency of a cream or paste.
