[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Yes 😊..I DO AGREE

[@recipebook7307]

It's so tasty

[@thegracedlifenetwork8812]

Ohh sis thank you so much for this. This video is so timely, and about one of the best things that's happening to me today. I have this grinded corn sitting right in my kitchen and am gonna go soak it right away.

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

You are so welcome! You made my day. am so happy that my video helped you.

[@adeo6891]

Thanks for the video....its so expensive buying it in the shops here in London. I have soaked my corn starch and will let it ferment for 3 to 4 days but I will not change the water daily or do the last bit of making it so hard. I will let the water settle and store with its water mixed with juiced ginger and lime half in the fridge and the rest in ziplock. Nice video 👍🏾👏🏾❤

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Thank you so dearest... I think I will try your own style next time.

[@adeo6891]

So happy I did it!!! Delicious...I prepared it and its lovely...hubby loves it as Alamo with evaporated milk and moinmoin and I sometimes make it as Eko to set to eat with vegetable stew or just stew and ewedu...so happy I made it 2kg worth of ogi is in my fridge and freezer right now. Thank you again xxx

[@spumantemerrick2832]

Thanks so much. I've been craving this for donkey's years.As you said, the processed one is expensive.

[@neeruk.c4449]

i don't know what is it but very good

[@amakachukwujekwu5624]

Well done grace🥰

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Thank you so much. I do appreciate

[@adaobiokafor9546]

Please why did you add water to the pap in the storage container before freezing it? Thanks

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

It helps to retain its freshness … it can last over a year like that!

[@egberuarelydia1312]

What Oster blender is this please?

[@egberuarelydia1312]

Where did you get the mesh bag?

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Pls don’t buy that oster blender. Buy Ninja blender and you won’t regret it. For the mesh bag, I brought from Nigeria but if you don’t have, you can use your pillow. Bring out the foams from your pillow and use it for it.

[@egberuarelydia1312]

GraceWorld beauty thanks for the response.I have a Ninja blender the big one,but it doesn’t blend things smoothly ,I guess because the blades are too big.even the ninja blender don’t blend bell peppers 🌶 to a very smooth paste.I have been doing this Ogi before I came across your video,but after soaking for days,I just filter with the mesh cloth without blending but I feel if it’s blended ,it will give more Ogi.

[@Mauvefalcone]

How did you change the water

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I mixed the corn and then allowed it to settle. I carried the pot to the kitchen and removed the water with a clean plate.

[@Elizabeth.D]

How did u change the water after the first day of fermentation

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I took it to the sink and used a clean plate to take out the water until there’s no water left. Then I refilled it with a clean water

[@Elizabeth.D]

@@GraceWorldbeauty thanks🙏

[@omobuukola]

How many days was it soaked for?

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I soaked it for 3 days and on the 4th day, I blended and sieve it

[@abosegkoya3507]

Waohhh!!! Thank you so much for this, have been begging my friend to send me this steps for awhile now, please i love my pap with ginger in it, how do i add the ginger? Will appreciatethe extra tip, God bless

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Thank you so much for watching... lemme make some research and get back to you

[@Aquila868]

What I did was to blend the ginger with the cornmeal, AFTER the fermentation process. I didn't add water before freezing, I just cut the finished pap into smaller chunks and ziploced. Hope this helps

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Priscie Adetunji Thank you so much.. God bless you

[@devine5452]

I didn’t realise you could make Ogi out of corn meal I was actually looking for corn instead Thank you very much for this Well done sis

[@madumerekelechi9667]

Is corn flour the same with corn meal

[@anitaopara6031]

How do u change d water pla

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I take it to the sink, I get a plate and scoop out the water. Then refill it with a new one. Thank you so much for watching. Do consider to join our little family by subscribing

[@island_girl6854]

Sorry I missed the beginning of it, after you mixed the corn meal powder at the start did you still let it rest/soaked for 2 days as the original one .... I watched it again but not sure ... I’m trying to find easier way to make it to help with my milk supply as I’m breastfeeding

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Am so sorry am replying late. But yes you have to soak the corn meal for 3days... and on the fourth day, you blend it and sieve

[@island_girl6854]

GraceWorld beauty thanking you very much.. really appreciate your help

[@island_girl6854]

GraceWorld beauty sorry did you change the water everyday .. so sorry I’m not Nigerian my husband is and just trying to learn:)

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

No problems hunnie! Yes dear... you have to change the water everyday to avoid bad smell. I love that you’re trying something new to make ur Hubby happy... Good job 😘

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

You’re welcome dear...😘😘😘

[@charityosas5804]

Pls can I soak if for 2 days before grinding, because am into it now, but I got d one from African store, d one PAN is written on d pack, pls reply me 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Well you can actually do it so!

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Though I haven’t tried the African store own

hello Chino, same name as my nephew.

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Nice to meet you. do consider to join our growing family

[@mirabellemirash5228]

What if i just buy corn starch and soak to ferment for 3 days. Can that be good too. Pls reply

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I don’t know anything about corn starch… I only have used corn flour or seeds

[@temmietametah9228]

I tried using pillow case but the water was running out very fast 😭😭. Is there another alternative? I can’t get a muslin bag right now.

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I never pillow case. I said take your pillow, tear it open, remove those foams inside. Wash it and use it as ur muslin bag

[@deoluolusanya2890]

Yu can also buy chiffon from the fabric store

[@euniceizevbigie7975]

Cheese cloth is also very good, you can order it from amazon

[@nkeoma]

After the first day, did u remove the water everyday for four days before blending it?

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Yes hunnie.. you have to remove the water to avoid bad smell.

[@becky15707]

Where is your blender from ? I tried this but the starch wasn’t as thick as your but it came ok

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I used ninja blender right now. It’s the best. When starting the fermentation process, make sure you keep it away fro salt ok?

[@becky15707]

GraceWorld beauty I kept in my room I’m currently making a new batch the previous one i fermented for 2 days while with this new batch it’s currently day 4.

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Ok no problem... let’s see how it turns out

[@1oserlover634]

My dad makes this he was trying to teach me 😆

[@ngoeze9051]

Hi....is corn meal same as corn flour???

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

It should be written corn meal dear. This corn meal is used to make corn bread

[@spumantemerrick2832]

No, It's the processed flour.

[@okiemutedelekpe3085]

Loved the video..I made with corn flour,it came out perfect..I stored in a ziplock bag and kept in the freezer,but I did not add water..is that ok?..You made my year by sharing this video.Thank you

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Yes it’s very ok... thank you so much for watching

[@adenikefamakinwa903]

Can I use corn flour that’s what I can find here? Also can I add lemon juice for that sour taste? Please kindly respond. Thank you

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I dunno for lemon juice… the corn flour I used is shown there.. I only trust it and it works perfectly.

[@adenikefamakinwa903]

Thank you for responding

Thank you dear

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Thank you dear

[@susan509]

Pls how many of the corn pap powder gave u all that ?Thanks for sharing sis

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

I used two bags of the corn meal..thank you so much for watching!

[@sindystales2911]

Sis must you leave it for 4 days

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

No dear... three days is enough

[@christianaudechukwu7205]

Hello sis, Can I use cornflour instead of cornmeal? Thanks

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

This cornmeal is like a roughly blended corn! It’s not powdered like the cornflour. So the answer is “NO hunnie

[@aria7557]

Yes you can Í just tried it now, I am now in the process of drying it, I put a heavy dumbbell on it, wish me luck.

[@ifunanyasandraokeke8829]

Hey sis your video has just helped me... I have a 6 month old who has completely refused cereal and my milk supply is no longer enough...a family friend suggested pap for the baby but I wasn’t comfortable with just buying the Akamu from the African stores as I can’t speak to how neatly it was made so yeah this video just saved me... I do have a couple of questions though ... 1) Is there a reason why you used a metal container for the fermentation process can I just use a plastic container with a lid. 2) Is there also a reason why you put water in the small freezer containers before freezing the pap? 3)Can I use my regular white pillowcase that comes with bedsheets to drain the water (you said you had to take out the foam from the pillow like it was the actual pillow you used as alternative to the drain bag) 4) Blend till really smooth right? Thanks a lot ❤️

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Wow! I am so glad that you came across my video. Lemme answer your questions accordingly: 1) No! I used the pot because that’s the only big container I have at home. So you can use any container with lid. 2) Yes! It helps to retain its freshness unless you’re putting it in a ziplock bag but if you’re putting it in a container, you need to add water to it. 3)No dear! It won’t drain the water out fully! So need a real pillow. So if you can’t use already used pillow, go get a new one. Tear it open and take out the foams. Then use it to drain it. 4) Yes. But also remember that you’re working with already blender corn. So, it won’t be all the way smooth. You’re the real mvvvp . Thank you so much for comment and watching! If you’re still confused, lemme know or contact me on Instagram @graceworld_beauty

@@GraceWorldbeauty thank you so much for responding. I’m going to follow you now on IG My handle is @aifuu_ ❤️

[@adenikefamakinwa903]

I check the ingredients and it says corn only

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

If it says corn only, that’s perfect!

[@adenikefamakinwa903]

Have you used pop corn kernels to make akamu or ogi?

[@adenikefamakinwa903]

I didn’t see this brand in my groceries store

[@GraceWorldbeauty]

Yes I have used corn kernels but it’s way too much work for me. If you see a cornflour that says only corn, go ahead and use it.

[@phunke4152]

I Jst want to buy from you

Why were you smiling when you said it was good for men ? Gracemond for the win😋
