Introduce the dish Heri Heri and mention the ingredients: cassava, white sweet potatoes, red sweet potatoes, half ripe bananas, and green bananas.

Soak the bakkel (a type of fish) in cold water to remove salt, then rinse it well before cooking.

Peel the cassava, sweet potatoes, and bananas, one by one, and chop them into chunks.

Boil the eggs until cooked, then set them aside.

Boil the cassava and sweet potatoes until tender, ensuring they don't melt away during cooking.

Cook the green banana separately to avoid bitterness, then set it aside.

Prepare the red sweet potato, noting it is less sweet than the white variety, and chop it into pieces before boiling.

Chop the tomato, onion, and pepper for the bakkel preparation.

Fry the chopped tomato, onion, and pepper in a pan until they are browned and fragrant.

Add the bakkel to the frying mixture and cook until it is moist and well combined with the vegetables.
