I am a new mom and I knew I'd see this video on your channel as my baby will soon start taking pap. This was really helpful and surprisingly it's since 8yrs ago. Thanks Flo
I sincerely want to thank you.. Ever since I moved to Europe, you have been helpful to me. Now I tried the Akamu thing from the scratch, believe me it came out well. I really appreciate you Chi.
I tried mine with the broken corn and it came out nice since I can't find Muslin bag I improvised using a NEW pillowcase.I can now enjoy homemade Akamu :) Thanks to Flo, you are the best!!!!
Madam Flo, your video is self explanatory, simple and easy to follow. You just demystified akamu for those of us who thought it was a difficult process. I have been carrying Akamu on flights over many years. My sister just decided to try Akamu in our kitchen using your directions. I am impressed. Well done. No more excess baggage filled with Akamu.
Thumbs up for you my sister. While still in Nigeria, I remember my mum adds ginger to the corn when we soak it and then blend it together with the corn before sifting. Hmmm It's the best and I miss it. u should try that too.
changes the like-button into the "stunning-button" Double thumbs up !!!! You are a wise woman who knows what cooking is !!! all that you share , makes me each day so much better in my own kitchen ! Best cooking ever ! I'm simply like not only amazed by your knowledge and artworks here , I'm also more happier in fact , you made it possible for me and so many folks here to not HAVE to buy packages and sacks of all kinds of things , with you cooking is fun , healthy , and most of all just more than delicious! u rock !
Aw you are adorable Flo! yup that is what I do :) , ever since I found your channel , this is like watching my favourite TV :D , sometimes I put it on repeat too LOL,just to be sure I did it right and I'm thanking u for all this delicious healthy food! Exactly what I need, difference in European and Nigerean is big! what ? huge ! simply due the fact you put a lot of work in it , the food is REAL , it is handmade while it otherwise is a storebought meal that doesn't even contain anything nutritious! And once tasted it stays in ur mind , really! Had some experience tasting it yet never made these myself but guess what I'm having on the menu ;-) !! ow yes ! Totally!!
I love this tutorial sweetheart.Wish there is somewhere i can buy corn here in the U.S so I can make akamu.i love drinking it with hot moi-moi.Can you do a tutorial on how to make moi-moi please
Yes, we drink it with sugar and evaporated milk + Akara, Puff Puff, Fried Plantains, Fried Yams, Moi Moi etc etc. It goes well with lots of staple foods. Ahhh, we have "kunun" a Northern Nigerian drink (looks like soy milk) and it is different from this one but I see the similarity in the names. :)))
Mehnn!!! Mrs Chinyere you are GOOD thank you so much, I learnt more than enough from your channel, wonderful!!!, I will always be here to learn more... 👍🏿🤗😘
Thank you Sis. Detailed video. Can one skip the "souring" process? Is it ok to just keep it in a bowl of water in the fridge and change the water everyday?
Thanks for this video. I tried making this but it didn't turn out well. I think the corn didn't fermented after soaking it for 4days. Can you use warm water to soak the corn? How will you know the corn is ready for processing
I'm glad you find them helpful. We are in this time machine together. I was so happy when my Mum brought the muslin bags for me, they have been delaying this video! :)
Akamu/Ogi/Pap is a common part of the West African cuisine; we eat it in Ghana. I have friends from Togo, Cameroun, Senegal, Liberia and Ivory Coast who eat it too.Thanks for sharing. :)
Flo, You are such a blessing. I really needed this reminder. Thank you for all the suggestions and especially the video. I have a copy of your book autographed by you. :)
Dry corn should be easy to come by in the US. If you don't have African Shops in your area search for "dry corn" on Amazon. They even have the yellow ones. :) I have the link to 2 videos on how to make Moi Moi in the description of this video: how to make it with foil and how to make it with leaves.
That's an ingenious idea right there Kelly! Pillowcase sellers should not hear about this new and improved use of their product else they raise their prices! lol Well done!
Nneoma ya gaziere gi , akamu diri gi n'elu. I tried corn we have in our area it didn't work I mean no taste and when made it ,it was watery I noticed it doesn't have starch . I noticed neither the white nor the yellow kind of corn am referring to was among in this your tuto any advice on it, thanks for your good work
This is made from corn also known as maize so they might be the same thing. I have another video where I actually prepare the meal. This video is about processing it from corn. :)
Hi ms. Flo, your videos are so helpful. Pls I’m not sure if I made a mistake, because I don’t have a chiffon cloth... but I used a fine mesh strainer, to do the first round to let it settle. Now I used a panty hose ( new ooo 🤣) to do part two. I’m not sure if I did anything wrong but with my left over water there was some starch . I’m trying to find out which one is real ogi. The one that settled down in the water, or the one in the bag? Well Ill find out soon. Thank you!
Hi, is this the type of corn for popcorns? If it isn't, can I use that type of corn? If I can't use the corn for popcorns, what type of corn can I use? Thank you.
You're welcome. :) I explained everything you need to know about muslin bags in the description of the video. Click "show more" under the video to see it.
Every time I'm looking for a recipe and find that you have it I automatically feel relaxed cos I know I'm in good hands. Thanks so much Madam Flo! Your recipes have been very helpful to me...much more than you can ever imagine🙏🏽❤️ God bless you
No, you can't use pop corn. If you live in the UK go to the Asian food shops and get white or yellow dried corn by "Tropical Sun". I have used it and it turned out like..., akamu
Wow this lady is SO DEEP! Imagine being served pap & the lady says "Oh yeah, I made that from scratch." "Oh you didn't buy it pre-packaged or something?" "No literally from from cratch, with corn that I ground myself" :-o
I wish I can post my video on the comment session for you to see. I made my ogi for the very first time after watching your video. I would love to do it over again. Thank you ❤️❤️
Thanks for the video. I been looking for a way to make Akamu for my kids here.. I live in South East Asia. How do I get the cloth and the bag you used to tie the Akamu? Thx as I wait to read back..
For the cloth, go to any shop that sells materials and show them this video, they will know which material it is. For the bag, you can use a brand new cotton pillow case. You are welcome. :)
by the way you make really good videos they are very informative :) keep doin it but I have one question .....are you superwoman ? How do you work,enjoiying motherhood and make those videos? wher do you find time for yourself ?? lovely greets from germany
Auntie Flo. U are awesome.This bring back some great childhood memories. I am going to downloading this video to share it with Friends and family. Oh My You are a rare Gem!
Thank u so much for this video, requested for all the items from home and was able to make it using this video, found this very helpful.God bless u for me...
Lovely video, very detailed, pls I want to ask,is there any difference between the off white or yellow corn, does one has more nutritional value than the other.
In terms of nutritional value, the yellow corn has a higher β-carotene level ( β-carotene is converted to Vitamin A in the body and it is excellent for good eyesight and reduces the risk of some cancers) than the white corn. The β-carotene content is partly responsible for the colour of the corn and as additional information, hen fed with yellow corn (or β-carotene supplements) tend to produce eggs with a distinctly yellow yolk than those fed white corn (which is cheaper than yellow corn hence why some poultry farms use them)
I'm nowhere being a superwoman dear! lol The requests for these recipes keep coming and I can't say no to my brothers and sisters and all the Nigerian food lovers that really need them. One video per week is not too bad. :)) Much love to you too! Thank you!
Hola por favor dime eso que tu llamas kamu con que lo comes? Con pan oh granout🥜es como garri asi se come ? Soy colombiana y tengo dos gemellos igbo niños y quiero aprender por favor muchas gracias daalu😅
Please where can I get Guinea corn and millet? I live in Berlin. I saw where you told someone to check Amazon for dry corn, do you have a link... I tried to search but the ones I saw was for pets. Thank you
Thank you Madam. Please what is the actual time that made up the 4 days in fermenting the ogi? That is how many hours that make up the 4 days the corn must be in water before grinding it for ogi? Is it 4 nights or? Thanks.

Thank you Sis. Detailed video. Can one skip the "souring" process? Is it ok to just keep it in a bowl of water in the fridge and change the water everyday?
When i saw the word 'pap' I thought you were referring to the dish we have in South Africa made from maize meal. Happy to learn new things though :)
My sister. You are a blessing to us poor women away from home.
Chukwu gozie gi. (My Igbo sucks tho!)
Ada that's perfect Igbo you wrote there so your Igbo does not suck anything. ;)
Bless you too.
Ada A believe in Jesus
Thanks for sharing your culture with us. :)
Fausat you need to leave it overnight to sour (NOT in the refrigerator). That is after all the water has drained from it.

Very helpful

We surely have the same foods across West Africa! Thanks for the name. :)))
Wow this lady is SO DEEP! Imagine being served pap & the lady says "Oh yeah, I made that from scratch."

What happened?
because I never thought of this before
Nnem ooo, if I don't have that bag what else can I use to drain the water from the akamu
Use a brand new cotton pillowcase. Wash it first ooo.
My baby oku! You warm my heart :)
Thanks for the video. I been looking for a way to make Akamu for my kids here.. I live in South East Asia. How do I get the cloth and the bag you used to tie the Akamu? Thx as I wait to read back..
