Ingredients
- 1 cup of guinea corn (or millet, sorghum, or maize) – ground into flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of edible potash (kanwa) or a small piece dissolved in water
- 1 small piece of ginger , peeled and grated
- 4-5 cups of water (adjust for desired consistency)
- 1–2 tablespoons of sugar or honey (optional, to taste)
Directions
Mix the Grain flour with a little water to form a light, smooth paste. Ensure there are no lumps.
In a separate pot, dissolve the kanwa ( potash ) in water and bring to a light boil.
Gradually pour the boiling kanwa water into the grain paste while stirring continuously.
Keep stirring until the mixture thickens slightly into a pap-like consistency.
Allow it to simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add more water if it's too thick.
Remove from heat. Add sugar or honey if desired.
Serve hot.
