How to Make Akamu/Ogi/Pap from Scratch | Flo Chinyere

[@zubzubby8380]

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.

[@victoriaanyamah2487]

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

[@TemitopeOgundolie]

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.

[@Westgirl277]

Very good idea, ginger is an amazing ingredient and I will add it to mine. Thanks for mentioning.

[@FloChinyere]

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. :)))

[@ellanwokeji322]

All Nigerian Recipes hi dear, apart from the chiffon what other material can I use, can I use a new ankara

[@suely10051970]

[@FloChinyere]

Wow Vicky. I read all the comments you made - watching and commenting as you go. Thank you for all your kind words. I love how expressive you are.

[@vickyiliaens1000]

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!!

[@zdaygamers]

Is there a way to make the corn sour, because mine is never sour.

[@uchennaW]

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

[@CodingExpress]

Same to me

[@obiakuakwiwu-nwadike1867]

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.

[@121misskk]

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!!!!

[@nancyprecious7718]

This is the best I have seen so far God bless you.

[@oluwasheunorotayo5644]

[@ngoziwakama6158]

I'm glad I watched this video because I wasn't sure if I could use my kitchen blender to blend the corn, I was afraid it might damage it and needed desperately to make some for my baby because ogi is so nutritious and natural. Thanks very much God bless

[@ChibuikeUlasi]

I loved helping my mom to make this akamu back then.

[@FloChinyere]

[@roseosaseri7372]

Fantastic. Good meal.God bless.

[@samirayashi3684]

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?

[@palatablekitchenchannel550]

WOW you really prepared this akamu and is looking so yummy

[@Hernameis994]

[@ezinnemgbor8829]

Thank you Flo for this video. I am making mine next week 💃💃

[@bestlulu512]

correct since I came to Brazil i found it difficult to see natural akamu like this I think i will try it with my blender this week

[@gilgabear]

What happened?

[@bestlulu512]

because I never thought of this before

[@osinachiowuama3192]

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

[@rhotel06]

Thanks for this video even after 6yrs. But please how would I get this muslin bag? Thanks

[@FloChinyere]

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.

[@ejikeonwunabonze]

You are amazing! Thank for sharing

[@noraolisa8959]

Love it thanks now I can do it

[@ultrahealthylivingedithbra5673]

Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@adukeallu7576]

Educative. Thanks.

[@chinenyemetu]

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.

[@octavius654321]

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)

[@nekky6004]

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. :)

[@stellanwokenkwo]

Chaii sis flo,i must confess u have helped my kitchen ministry lol😀 thanks ....but i only see popcorn seeds around me...thanks i must try this

[@FloChinyere]

I have a video where I used pop corn to make akamu. Watch and hear my verdict on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2jVqX2Zr7lna7c

[@Philtabit49]

Try Latino/Spanish stores. That's where I find dry corn.

[@FloChinyere]

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.

[@itskristinajasmine]

I used to love eating this as a kid

[@FloChinyere]

My baby oku! You warm my heart :)

[@liewulanhumphrey8029]

Really help me to learn make pap for My babies

[@promiseemmanuel5833]

Nne I love this video so much, now I can make akamu on my own, though the corn is a little bit hard to find here.

[@Ketutar]

you can use popcorn kernels, the dried corn kernels meant to be popped to popcorn. That should be readily available in most places and relatively cheap. It is not the exact proper type of corn, but it does well enough - after all, it IS dried corn.

[@ogochukwuokonkwo8196]

I know this thread is really quite old...great work you are doing dear! Pls what kind of blender do you use. I am only able to make little at a time and have to wait long times for the blender to rest..if you can believe that..haha I want to buy a better stronger one but I need to know which. Thanks

[@AmyLovesJesus4eva]

God bless you chi

[@FUMNAYATV]

This is lovely. God bless u, please can u make a video on how to make Agidi with proper Anika corn

[@FloChinyere]

+Igweh Amaka Nne biko which one is anika corn?

[@transce]

Thanks for sharing your culture with us. :)

[@tianajojotv]

Thanks ma i made my own it was so great kudos to you

[@FloChinyere]

Well done Jane. :)

[@angelonons]

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!

[@tianajojotv]

Am mankind another for this month thanks much love for my n my baby

[@everydaybutterfly1]

Thank you very much.

[@TORITSEJUOYOR]

Thank you for this!

[@dominiquepierre-louis7084]

They call it AKa-100 in Haiti 🇭🇹, we don’t throw the water after fermented

[@ZenzoSezSo]

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 :)

[@FloChinyere]

Fausat you need to leave it overnight to sour (NOT in the refrigerator). That is after all the water has drained from it.

[@isabellaagbashe5289]

Thank you so much for this video. Aunt Flo, do you have a video on overripe plantain. I have some overripe plantain in my fridge and don't know what to use them to prepare!

[@FloChinyere]

You are welcome Isabella. Here are the overripe plantain recipes that I have: 1. Plantain Puffs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4WYkHmLo6qCkNU 2.

[@ladyoby6243]

This is awesome

[@stevenlee2484]

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

[@FloChinyere]

I have uploaded a video on that, there's a link under the video. Click "show more" under the video.
