HOW TO COOK PAP, THE 'VENDA' WAY

[@justsebekhumalo1145]

Very interesting to see how other people cook it. I must say that was very long. For me pap is one on my quick whip ups 30 min tops. I wanted to learn how to make pap in the large black pot and found myself here.❤

Oh thank you so much for the support. And for me it depends on my mood and level of hunger how long I cook the pap. This low heat slow and longer allows me to multi-task plus love the taste, but high heat and shorter cook time is great when I am tired and craving pap. 😀

Thanks I’ve only cooked this like you explained your mom did and I didn’t know about using vinegar. That’s like a major short cut. But, I think the fermented corn flour is much better for you to give your tummy good healthy probiotics it needs and a healthier gut. Now, I will try your way also when I run out of the cornflour that I’ve fermented. Because, I have to make a new batch of fermented and that takes a few days and I wanted to make pap. So now I don’t have to wait. Awesome PS. Your English is good enough. You did great.

Thank you so much for your support. Also I too like the natural fermentation route, but the way my mother taught me was through fermenting the maize meal.

Is this the same maize meal you cook Mexican corn tortillas.

[@PhysicsNerd25]

Kind of. What my mexican friend told me is that the tortilla flour she got back home was ground finer than the maize meal we normally get here in SA, but the same recipes work with both just the same. It's just the texture that's a bit different.

But an hour is too much... I'm a Venda... I think you should also learn to dish the Venda pap properly for presentation but all in all... A gude u avha magaku zwa vhudi

That pap is too soft is it " Blue bird or shaya"?

[@thevendachef8887]

The pap, while dishing into the bowl should be malleable/ easy to transfer. The pap also hardens as it cools down. Had I made the pap anymore stiff, it would have turned into a brick as it cooled. Also the maize used was White star super maize.
