Ponmo, also known as cow skin, is a popular ingredient in Nigerian cuisine and can be prepared in a variety of ways. For this dish, start by boiling the ponmo until it is tender. Once it is tender, sauté onions, peppers, and garlic in oil until they are softened. Add fresh tomatoes, tomato paste, and the spices and seasonings, and simmer until the sauce is thick and fragrant. Add the cooked ponmo to the pot and stir until it is well coated with the sauce.
For the fish, start by seasoning it with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, and then fry the fish until it is crispy and golden brown. Drain off any excess oil and then set aside.
To serve, plate a generous portion of boiled noodles, along with a ladle of ponmo stew on top. Add a few pieces of fried fish on top of the ponmo and garnish with fresh herbs or sliced peppers for added flavor and color.
