Thank you so much for this. I was a labor and delivery nurse. One day a woman came with her mother from Africa, Ghana I think. She had been giving a corn drink to her daughter to increase her milk supply. I had never heard of this and was so impressed with how well it worked. That mama had more milk than anyone I ever saw in 30 years.
Yes, corn pudding boosts breast milk supply 😁
Great job dear, I love akamu. Soaking is actually 4 days, so that fermentation can take place, that is how you get distinctive smell and sour test that akamu have. Other than that, you did a great job.👍
Hi, thanks for clarifying that. But is it okay to soak it more than 4days?.
No, more than 4 days won't be good
Iike is because my grandmother seller in Nigeria that why know to do it good job
I've watched a lot of videos on pap and I noticed soaking was for 2 to 3days. 2days was for if you're using warm water.
This is so true. I did this using this same Hominy corn soaking it for two days but it didn’t have that distinctive sour taste that Akamu has, it was more like custard. I’m doing a new batch this week and I’m soaking the corn for 4 days. Hopefully it would come out better this time😀
Great job sis. i always love people who try to make things by themselves. At least you will be sure of what you are eating.
I always make my pap with different corn species i.e the white, yellow, millet, red and white guineas corn. and spice it up with cloves and ginger.
The water (omidun), i kept in my fridge for drinking and sometimes use it to boil herbs.
The bag you used to tie the akamu to drain the water is what type of bag. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Muslin bag or cheese bag
How do I get the two different types of bags you used, the one for sieving the grinded corn and the one for pouring it in. How do I get these bags please?
Awesome content 👏🏾 ❤ Ginger akamu is my favorite.
Same here!
My sister, you are doing well. I usually buy corn flour, the already blended cornflour, and soak it directly to make my akamu. I am a very lazy cook, plus I don't have enough time for this process. I really applaud you. Growing up we used ginger and guinea corn and millet, but I personally prefer the corn taste. 👊👏👏
That a genius way Nah. Since u can get your akamu that way. No need to stress abeg. I will come for the tutorial neighbor.
When you use the cornflour Does it taste like akamu?
@@iraro4show283 it will never taste like akamu
Making this is a lot of work. I remember making the one with millet for my baby it wasn't easy. You r a supper mum. Well done
Thank you my fellow super mom. It's not easy but it's worth it.
Good job dear.
Observation: instead of sterilizing anything you’re using for pap with salt, it’s better u sterilize with hot water, reason being that salt shouldn’t come anywhere near ur pap. This is the reason why ur pap doesn’t thicken when u make it sometimes, because whoever made d pap from scratch must have come in contact with salt or u that is preparing d pap to drink have made salt contact with the pap.
Thanks.
Ok. Thank you dear. Noted.
Nice one
I like the powder... I mixed it with pumpkin flour, soy flour and rice flour and cook it. Taste great
I prefer the white pap. This is time consuming but worth it especially for those outside Nigeria. The blender has to be a strong one to avoid story that touches the heart😀great content as usual✌
Lol. Yes my sister. Thanks for watching. Team white corn oshey💖
Not all d blander
Great job. Very simplified process. I’ve been working too hard and losing a lot of Akamu. Not anymore after watching your video. Thank you!
You are welcome 👍
Well done Sis, this is really helpful. Just what I need at the moment. I am a nursing mother and have been trying out different ways to boost my milk production. With this I can now make it at home.
Glad it was helpful!
Congratulations on your new baby
Chai see my girl is almost at 1k ..💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 .. To do akamu in abroad is not easy at all ok .. the most stressful part for me is when I am sieving it .. .. good job as always ❤️❤️
Thank you swthrt❤
It's not easy to do akamu that's why I just do it in large quantity and it serves me for a year plus
I can send to you from Nigeria
Thank you so very much. I actually learnt so much from this tutorial. ❤
My pleasure 👍
Love the ziplock packaging choice
Making pap actually seems to be easy,desgrasful if not careful while making it, but am happy today after watching this video I have been able to gather a lot of ex
perience in making pap
Awesome! Im going to try making some of this next week
You made it looks easy..... Thanks for sharing
You’re welcome
Well done,you have done a great 👍 job.I thought you sell it in US...till I heard you saying you always keep in the fridge for a year.It's a lot of work/process,I can never do it,I buy in african store especially for breastfeeding...even now that I have stopped breastfeeding, just to enjoy with my moi moi or beans.
I can supply to u
You're a darling thanks for this.
Someone refused to bring for me from Nigeria.
I love drinking ogi.
I'll be able to do this myself, never knew it's this easy to make.
Lol. Yes, you can make yours.
You are welcome
Well done sis, you did a very good job. The akamu is looking so lovely and yummlicious even without cooking it yet. Those blenders are sure powerful! Nice sharing. Let the countdown begin!!! 💃💃💃
😃 the blender na power mike o🤣
The countdown o, 😍
@@AdorableKitchenplease what's the name of the blender so I can get one for myself?
🎉best teacher
🙏
This is absolutely beautiful. Thank you. I love white and yellow combination. The color it gives is really ok
💗
This is a useful lesson..
I hope you are making akamu in Illinois.Cheers
Welldone sis👍🏽❤..
Of a truth akamu is a big job, this i know by experience because i sieved mine today after 3 days of soaking. 3- 4 days i prefer for better fermentation and also save the blender life, except for those grinding with heavy duty.
It's all worth the stress at the end though. Welldone sis.
Love from India🤗
Awwww. Thanks so much dear for this feedback. It is a big work indeed. I like that you soaked 3 days for better fermentation and to help the blades of your blender... Well done dear💖💖
@@AdorableKitchen do you have any idea what the chaff can be used for?
Yeah, you can use it for swallow. Nri oka.
@@AdorableKitchen ohh yes i know nri oka oo☺, very good with okro soup, but can't remember how it's done. Thank you.
Do you have a video of the nri oka sis?
@@thegracedlifenetwork8812 😅 No dear. I dried the chaff. Then I just added little wheat then prepared it the normal way we make semo. That was once sha. I didn't really like it.
Nice and neatly prepared.
I prefer the yellow corn but like adding dawa.
One of my best for breakfast .
Best result when I combine it with moi moi, okpa , fried plantain or porridge beans
Well done Adorable.
Thank you Ma❤
Thank you Ebele for your great knowledge of how to make Ogi/Akamu I watched your video which is very interesting
And we appreciate it.
My question is do you have a Recipe Book with Nigerian Cuisines? If so how can I purchase one.
My name is :-
Mrs Taiwo Olufunwa and I live in North London.
Thank you for your feedback. No, I do not have a recipe book but you can get one from @flochinyere of All Nigerian Food Recipes.

الجبنه جميله تسلم ايد ك روعة وتحفه 🌹💐🌺🤝👍🤝👍👍
Absolutely great to watch and thanks for promoting the skills
Well done❤ sis
Thanks for sharing, it helped
This method is perfectly ok, but I like adding ginger to my Akamu it taste more better and unique
Yes sis. Ginger makes it more flavorful
Do you soak the ginger along with your corn or you just add it on the day of grinding please ??
Lovely
Weldone sis
Good 👍
This is wonderful.
Pls, i love your blender.
Can you get me one and let me know the price.
Thanks.
Beautiful
Great job, sis you really did well, that's my favorite meal 🥰
This is a better video than others that I have watched. Thank you. I have soaked my corn since Monday but I noticed it is still very strong. Is it ok to still grind it on Thursday being the 4th day?
Thanks for the feedback. 4 days is enough, so just go ahead and grind. soaking it doesn't really make it soft, it just helps with fermentation so you can have that authentic pap/ogi smell and taste.
@@AdorableKitchen thank you
Waoooo thanks for sharing. I will definitely give a try. I tried the method of just soacking corn flour for days and to me it didn't taste like pap. I am curious to know the make of the blender you used please. Thanks again for your time and efforts 🥰
Most welcome .
Blender is Ambiano brand
@@AdorableKitchen thank u so much 🙏🙏🙏
Great job sister. Very well done. I commend your effort
Thank you so much.
Could you please tell me if I can mix other grains with it to boost the nutritional value? 🙏
Yes. You can add millet
Thank you ma
You’re welcome 😊
Tnx so nice
The colour is very nice, the corn is so yellow, I prefer yellow corn, ginger kwa? I haven't seen that. You did it so well, thanks for sharing
You are welcome sis. Yes ginger o. People add it. Makes it flavorful
beautiful, please where did you the corn?
From the African store
Akamu in diaspora indeed😁. Well done, Sis. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you 😀
I used to live in Cameroon and I loved feeding pap to my babies and I loved it when I was sick. I couldn't remember how to make it now I am back in the US but I wanted something easy to digest. Thank you for this tutorial. To cook it don't I boil water first and the stir in the pap to the boiling water? Thank you again!
th-cam.com/video/d3t5jDYb-PU/w-d-xo.html
Yes, this is a refresher for how to make pap.
Thanks sis
I usually send money to Nigeria for Ogi
After watching your video l think l can make it
Thanks a million for sharing
Am a new subscriber
Thanks again sis
You are very welcome. Thank you too ❤
Hello I'm back here again. Actually I'm making my akamu and I'm in the soaking process, pls I want to ask at what point do I add ginger as I like the flavor.
When grinding the corn, add the ginger at that point.
@@AdorableKitchen thank you Adorable kitchen. I just love you ❤️ so much. Thanks 😘😘. I'll show you pictures of my akamu when I'm done so you can score me.😊😊
@@maeziegbo3441 Awww😘, that will be great. I know you got this!
