After 15 minutes of cooking, add the crayfish and palm oil into the pot and stir until they are equally distributed throughout the soup.
Now add your grinded Achi seeds and stir immediately to avoid lumps, if it gets too thick, add more water, or if it gets too watery, add Achi. Next, give it ten minutes to cook.
