INGREDIENTS
1) Guinea corn
2)sweet potatoes peeled
3)germinated maize,guinea corn,unshelled rice (to germinate the grains, wet them and place in a basket. Cover the top with a polythene bag and leave for 2days to germinate )
4)ginger
5) pepper (optional)
PROCEEDURE
Soak the guinea corn in water for 4hours or more.
Pound roughly together the germinated grains and the peeled potatoes( the more the potatoes, the more the sweetness. Though some people add sugar in theirs for extra sweetness) , ginger and 4-5 dried pepper.
Put enough water to boil. Just like when you're making pap/akamu/ogi mix the guinea corn in water to form a slightly thick paste. Pour in the boiling water till its thick and stir well.
Mix the germinated mixture in water as well. Not necessarily thick. And pour into the thick guinea corn mixture. Stir together. You will notice some cracks in the mixture as it starts to cool. My mom says it's a sign it will be sweet.
Leave to cool. I usually make mine in the evening and leave overnight to cool.
And refrigerate. I prefer the taste if it's a day old though.
