  • 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)

Steps

  1. Mix the Grain flour with a little water to form a light, smooth paste. Ensure there are no lumps.
  2. In a separate pot, dissolve the kanwa (potash) in water and bring to a light boil.
  3. Gradually pour the boiling kanwa water into the grain paste while stirring continuously.
  4. Keep stirring until the mixture thickens slightly into a pap-like consistency.
  5. Allow it to simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add more water if it's too thick.
  6. Remove from heat. Add sugar or honey if desired.
  7. Serve hot.
