ZIKKIE'S WORLD my dear, na so obodo oyibo dey do us o. But i learnt you can make from corn meal/starch. Havn't tried it though. Hope mama has relaxed a bit now?😊 Thanks nwanyi mara mma😘
Maureen Achu awww, would have been really nice. But I’m surprised though, cos I think U.K. have more of our Naija stuffs. I brought my maize from Naija. Check out Flo Chinyere’s recipe on using corn meal instead, in case that’s what is available to you 👍👍
Hi Dasola, I got the corn from Nigeria during my visit. Where do you stay? It might be possible to check African stores to see if you find😊 I've not found these exact ones in Norway myself, there are definitely corns but they feel and ferment and possibly taste differently.
Geraldine my darling, we're not Oyibo people 😃, Our hands does a better Job than the Spatula. You really nailed it my Sister and the end result is Amazing, Nice one My darling Sister 👌👌❤❤❤❤
DNVlogsLife TV nice 👍👍 you know we explore available options abroad. Custards are available too. Even corn starch, I learnt, can be used 😊 but making from maize/corn as done in Naija is like the original 😉😉 Thanks for your time ma 🙏
Hello Queeneth, Keeping it in the refrigerator is for short term storage, like 1-2 weeks But then you need to change the water on the surface every other day. This will prevent further fermentation and spoilage. If you want to keep it for months there two ways I know: Put in zip lock bags and freeze them Or dry the pap and blend it smooth like a powder and store in air-tight containers If you want to see how I did it, watch this video, th-cam.com/video/2Cbhd6HlkCc/w-d-xo.html and let me know if you find it helpful.
Hello Bisola, I don't know what the African stores there might have, but there are a couple of grains you can give a try. Like Guinea corn or dawa and millet. But the one I used here is only Nigerian maize, and you can look for it in the African stores too. Be careful not to mistake popcorn for it though, except you don't mind giving it a try 😊
If you stay in Nigeria, you can fine them in the trade lines in the markets, the parts where they sell traditional stuffs like beads, clay pots, mortar and pestle etc. But if you’re abroad, you can check on amazon for a double mesh sieve (it’s a great alternative for that chiffon scarf. Then you can search for cheese cloth there as well, which will serve as the bag to draining of excess water later. I hope this helps you dear, feel free to ask more questions if you have. Have a beautiful day
Oya oo, run along, sit at home is a good time for such projects 😀 I think so, check out Flo Chinyere’s recipe using pop corn, might be the solution you need👍
Hello fam💕 I got to answer your questions on making pap with corn meal and any other corn type than the regular Nigerian Maize. I hope you find the information helpful. Here is the link to the video 👇 th-cam.com/video/1D8FVsHU8LE/w-d-xo.html
Awwwww See how beautiful and innocent she looks- natural and yuuum 😍this is First class presentation. The next morning your pap came out fantastic and sooo creamy. With the peak milk 🥛 and Akara is the best marriage in the morning and yes great for this quarantine period.....I will never fail to try this once I get dry corn 🌽. Thanks for sharing your awesome video 💖❤️✨✨
Queenvarieties Channel hahah, sis! I didn’t know you were a poet too🤣 my. Akamu got married🤣🤣💃💃💃💃 Oh my God, this cracked me up🤣 Thanks dearie, you are s blessing- TGIF😉
Ok, some people do and it's totally fine. I didn't grow up taking the unfiltered pap so I'm not used to it and have never tried it. Thanks for your contribution 😊
Hi Karen, I used the normal maize from Nigeria . Using popcorn or corn start are great substitutes but like the video below suggests, it won’t give the exact taste and consistency of the original pap😊 th-cam.com/video/A7rxJczT45U/w-d-xo.html
ZIKKIE'S WORLD as in ehhh this social distancing is causing me a lot of fun, I better get my feet back to the community, zikkie sis pls buy me a second phone na, pls I’m begging 🥺
Hertty KEM your choice dear😅 I love it and so does my family. Of course if I am in Nigeria, I will buy the already made one once in a while. Or make a lot of it and save for months
Hello Victoria, thanks for visiting my channel 😊 Ok, the one is used here were from Nigeria, but the link below contains the alternatives to both the chiffon scarf and bag. I hope you find them and get to make some pap for yourself. Cheers.

Sorry, I think I mixed up your question, where you asking about the final product of the process? The pap itself? If so, no, it’s not corn starch, let’s liken it to a porridge- it’s very popular in Nigeria. Makes great breakfast, we do not make it into powder like corn starch. I have a second video linked to this one, on how to make the same pap using dry maize meal (the coarse type) It’s also possible to achieve pap, with the use of the corn starch you’re asking about. But the consistency and taste of the Nigerian pap is best achieved following the exact method I used here. Hope this answers your question 😊
@@TheAfroFoodDiary Yes ooh sis growing up I never swallow as well. .swallow of any kind was my enemy, Akamu, and beans. But now am a master of swallow but Akamu and beans refuse to comply till today lol
Hi Juliet, same question I asked years ago, it’s so the maize ferments gradually, if you don’t change the water you will end up with a horribly smelly maize and the pap’s taste will be affected too. So that’s the essence of washing of the old water daily
Love the food processor idea! Will be trying it this week. I’m on day 3
Wow, good to hear 👏
@@TheAfroFoodDiary update I skipped the processor and I paid with time and frustration! Anyone reading this DO NOT skip the processor step
Oh dear, sorry for the stress. I’m happy you learnt from it too👍 enjoy your pap🥰
🥂
This is so fascinating…. I love learning new cultures
Wow you really tried. It's not easy to do this outside Nigeria. You did a great job , how I wish I can give a double thumbsup 🤣😂🤣❤️🙋

DNVlogsLife TV great! I’ve not tried it yet but might with time 😊
Wow look so nice, where do u get the maize from pls
From Naija dear, thank you
Really u need that process to get the maize done 😯 wow five days
Yes dear, 3 days if I was to have a more powerful grinder available
So except fridge how do you preserve for months
Hello Queeneth,

What kind of corn do you recommend for those that are in USA.

But the one I used here is only Nigerian maize, and you can look for it in the African stores too. Be careful not to mistake popcorn for it though, except you don't mind giving it a try 😊
Pls where can I buy the bag and the net and what are they called thanks 😊 nice video I can't wait to make mine
Hello Lilian, do you stay in Nigeria? Or abroad?
Asking because then I’ll be able to tailor the answer to your location
If you stay in Nigeria, you can fine them in the trade lines in the markets, the parts where they sell traditional stuffs like beads, clay pots, mortar and pestle etc.
But if you’re abroad, you can check on amazon for a double mesh sieve (it’s a great alternative for that chiffon scarf. Then you can search for cheese cloth there as well, which will serve as the bag to draining of excess water later.
I hope this helps you dear, feel free to ask more questions if you have. Have a beautiful day
Wow thank u
You’re welcome
Wow sis I need this original ogi. I just saved this video. I need to get a cheese cloth. Can I use the dry corn they use to make pop corn?

Thanks for your time nne😊
I will dear, and you too please 🙏
But please can you tell me how to get the corn /maize in Italy because is my husband favorite
It’s hard to say cos I don’t live in Italy, but I will guess that you can find them in the African shops👍
But it’s looks delicious 🤤
great but for me oh I prefer the unfiltered one with the fiber its richer and better
Ok, some people do and it's totally fine. I didn't grow up taking the unfiltered pap so I'm not used to it and have never tried it.
Thanks for your contribution 😊
Will the raw pop corn kernels work or is there a special corn to use?

We’re have I been oo, I don’t even get notifications anymore, let me balance well and watch sis
Maureen Achu same here dear, I haven’t been getting notifications as well
Maureen Achu it’s because you are social distancing with your nkwobi and ugba 🤣🤣🤣
ZIKKIE'S WORLD as in ehhh this social distancing is causing me a lot of fun, I better get my feet back to the community, zikkie sis pls buy me a second phone na, pls I’m begging 🥺
Maureen Achu lol, will a second phone end the sitathome?😅
Second phone will help me enjoy this sitathome better na.
Interesting process but i can’t go through this stress for food ooo unless it’s my favorite,anyways thanks for sharing 💕💕💕
Hertty KEM your choice dear😅 I love it and so does my family. Of course if I am in Nigeria, I will buy the already made one once in a while. Or make a lot of it and save for months
The Afro Food Diary i think if u make a lot and save,it’s better as making it in Small portions concerning the work that goes into it.
Hertty KEM exactly dear, this is the first time in years actually, not an everyday work, only when the craving is up.
The Afro Food Diary i understand sis i bet i do the same ☺️☺️
Please can I get the bag at Amazon if yes please send me the link

Elorm Bansah thanks dearie 😊
Is it the same as corn flour or corn starch pleeeaase reply 🌽😋❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
Hi, no, it’s different. Corn starch is the very processed fine and smooth one whereas maize meal is coarse, the type used in making fufu
Sorry, I think I mixed up your question, where you asking about the final product of the process? The pap itself? If so, no, it’s not corn starch, let’s liken it to a porridge- it’s very popular in Nigeria. Makes great breakfast, we do not make it into powder like corn starch.

God's time same tin here🤣🤣 just once in a while too
@@Ejisfoodkorner I don't even drink Akamu at all sis lol...I manage custard only
God's Time/God's Love hahahaa, reminds me of my bro growing up, no pap, no swallow 😁🤣 great to hear you manage custard 😅
@@TheAfroFoodDiary Yes ooh sis growing up I never swallow as well. .swallow of any kind was my enemy, Akamu, and beans.
But now am a master of swallow but Akamu and beans refuse to comply till today lol
And most you add water
I have a detailed answer for you already dear, check the first comment 😊Let me know if it helps 👍
Why do you need to change the water everyday, why not leave the same water for the five days you are soaking it. Any special reason?
Hi Juliet, same question I asked years ago, it’s so the maize ferments gradually, if you don’t change the water you will end up with a horribly smelly maize and the pap’s taste will be affected too.
So that’s the essence of washing of the old water daily
