Battabox, I actually did not know how much I would cherish this channel. Born and raised in London ( from Naija parents) but you transport me live to Nigeria every time. More grease to your elbow and keep the flag flying 😀
Creat a factory for this type of production so that all these women that knows how to make this products will work there and supply in and outside Nigeria...
Pap, which we call 'Kooko', 'Akatsa', 'Zogbor', in Ghana is a staple. It's the original West African baby's first food and fever destroyer. I like it very sour with roasted groundnuts. Yummy! West African food is the best.
My sister, this is made from corn as well. Mhen, i respect every African who survived the transatlantic slave trade. Despite the horrors they went through, they made sure they maintained and preserved their cultures even when their languages were taken away from them.
Mosunmola Adeojo maintained what culture... corn is indigenous to America... VERY well documented fact. This is based off American traditions. When corn made its way around the world, everyone was getting sick and dying because they weren’t preparing corn properly... SMH.
Mosunmola Adeojo Very true. We make this in the Carib. What people don't know is that Africans we're there before the transatlantic trade. I'm Jamaican and something I've discovered were direct African like a place in Westmoreland called Abeokuta, Jamaica. I never knew that was a Yoruba name😂. Matter a fact this tribe took over many parts of the Americas before the trade like the name "Taiwo" is on old maps. Much love and blessings to you 😆
Really nice and good looking dish. At first when she mixed the cool water in it looked like oobleck(a mix of cornstarch and water). After the hot water was in it looked like smooth creamy custard. So yummy. ❤
Is this porridge? This is a traditional breakfast in the Caribs. We give it to our children alot. By force we drink it like formula😂. We make it with corn, plantain, green banana, etc. You can make any kind of porridge. Just add milk, coconut milk, sweet milk, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg. At least this is the basics. I've never seen it from scratch like this. Nice.
I can relate. I am Jamaican and I had to drink porridge the same way warri pikin had to. 😂😂😂😂😂By force, everyday. 😂😂😂😂 Now I am grown d ones I like is peanut with oats and green plantain or I have each of them by themself. I don't fancy the cornmeal but I will drink it and I hate rice and hominy corn porridge those corns I just can't and d rice is just nasty.
Do you enjoy eating Nigerian Akamu, Pap, Ogi? Or, run like a young child from the sour taste? 😍😂 Don't forget to support the BattaBox team by clicking SUSBCRIBE - it's free 👏🚀
Is this a Sudanese food/drink? It looks very delicious and creamy and thick Can't wait to visit Africa one dayso i can enjoy all these tasty looking delicacies😥🤗😙😙 Love from Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲👏🏼👏🏼
@@ennykad1 Actually, yes you are so right! Let me rephrase.. Lol... Akamu is 'similar' to custard in consistency but it's 'like' a raw, unrefined version of custard. Even though, as you said custard is made from different ingredients.
Chioma Umeizudike - When you prepare the powered paste, it should not be too watery. Add boiled water and stir continously, till thicker paste is achieved.
Lol...yes, I (Black American) was in Lagos in March 2018. I saw nothing to worry about. There was all races of people moving about with out concern (even white females there solo)! I have heard other regions may not be safe.. I only did Lagos State.
I don know why she should do all this back breaking work.in kenya we call it uji(poridge)made from cornneal.there are cornmeal making machines.yu take dry corn to machine and grind it flour wara.within minutes.with flour yu can make ogi or favourite Kenyan food cAlled ugali(thick cornmeal)
Kithinji Kwiriga Sorry you didn't get the point of this video, this is the original African traditional( Nigerian ) way of doing it, we also have machine in Nigeria that can do all this stuff, but traditionally this is way it all started, l hope this was helpful. Thanks.
The cornmeal one does not taste the same as this original one. I’ve tried both. Corn starch will give you a more similar result like phi but the original is still the best
Corn is fermented and it is ground, then sieved to separate the chaff, the corn used is usually dry corn not flour. The fermentation process makes it easily digestible and it adds to the nutritional value. Some people add spices to it, you can use Millet, as well.
It's not dearie. ..u just buy the one she made from the final press all you do is only the mixing and the putting of hot water that's all....u don't need to do the other process
Aging jedi This is what you would call natural, organic custard in the West. Just because you eat mashed potato or custard in the West, there are OBVIOUSLY other foods too! Stop being ignorant & disrespectful.
I found it strange that he shared this meal with strangers. They all licked the spoon and dug it back in the bowl, that was gross. That is a health hazard. 😕😡
Africwomenpower Lol. That’s how Chinese people eat. I don join them finish. When I get home my friends dey think I’m crazy to share food like in a Chinese restaurant. Lol
This guy is the only reporter of Batta Box that i refuse to watch anymore. I have tried and tried to watch this young man but can never understand a single thing he says. He doesnt even match the subtitle. Therefore i have decided to give him a thimbs down and skip everyone of his interviews. i will not waste anymore of my time with this guy. Just think of all the good shows he could have if he would just slow down and get some type of speach therapy of some sort
I like Warri Pikin being the host. Pls do more of him
I love akamu! To me its better than custard
Gold k's Channel me tooo hahahahaha I remember eating it with my late grandma sweet memories
Custard is just vile I hated that thing as a kid, it looked like melted plastic to me.
Gold k's Channel me too. I never knew what it was called. My grandmother uses cornstarch to make it.
I thought I was the one who felt this way
Me toit's my FAV pudding
Battabox, I actually did not know how much I would cherish this channel. Born and raised in London ( from Naija parents) but you transport me live to Nigeria every time. More grease to your elbow and keep the flag flying 😀
I love Warri Pikin's segments on food.
i love watching this guy eat/drink. he makes me crave things I've never even heard of lol
Jody Appel for real though lol
That's my No.1 FAVORITE Nigerian pudding and I 💗 when my mum makes it
I like the sound of “pudding”
@@BattaBox me to
Swear down, I had a hang over one time and this was a life saver. Akamu with peak milk and sugar. I was brought back to life.
😂

Food arena is the best
Tony Nguyen you lie
Ogi comes in 3 colors; white yellow and brown.Always preferred the brown one it is the most flavorful to me I think the brown one is called Ogi Baba
You sabi something jare... Thank you for watching ooo, kindly subscribe to our channel ooo.
romz the brown one is made from millets
romz you are absolutely right. Ogi baba is my favorite. Plus it has high protein content
Warri is my guy!! I love him
Pap, which we call 'Kooko', 'Akatsa', 'Zogbor', in Ghana is a staple. It's the original West African baby's first food and fever destroyer. I like it very sour with roasted groundnuts. Yummy! West African food is the best.

Warri Pikin is my favorite presenter!
Very nice video, this dish is similar to Jamaican cornmeal porridge, I would love to try this meal. Thanks for sharing!

Damn I remember this as 8 year old in Enugu, that stuff is pretty tasty work milk and sugar.

Same here...was thinking. A porridge niga version. Makes it look silky smooth n nice.😊
You’re a real deal 💯
How many hours or days does it sit in water to sour and ferment?
Akamu n okpa,yummy!
Are there different versions of PAP like a yellow version and a white version.
Yes we have white ones and yellow ones as well
Hello from Toronto!

Would have liked to see the fermenting and grinding stages, but good episode nonetheless.
This reminds me of bird custard but made from scratch ogi is the real deal.
Thanx Warri, twas a cool episode ;)
Good
Is this a Sudanese food/drink?
It looks very delicious and creamy and thick
Can't wait to visit Africa one dayso i can enjoy all these tasty looking delicacies😥🤗😙😙
Love from Jamaica🇯🇲🇯🇲👏🏼👏🏼
Jolee Gardner it’s nigerian
The refined version is custard. Akamu is the raw, original version. I love it. It is an acquired taste if you are not used to it.
Jenny Jerome Ogi and custard are two different things oooo. Custard from scratch is made from egg yolk, milk and sugar.
@@ennykad1 Actually, yes you are so right! Let me rephrase.. Lol... Akamu is 'similar' to custard in consistency but it's 'like' a raw, unrefined version of custard. Even though, as you said custard is made from different ingredients.
And the presidents says the youth are lazy! May betta thunder fire him
well said sister.. i strongly agree with you
👩🏾🦯
Akara and akamu for breakfast
Na today I sAbi make ogi🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I Dey do my own upside down
How was it?
Love the culture
The culture loves you
My level of homesickness brought me here! I need to go home soon :(
Have you gone home?
@@BattaBox nooo 😭
'Dis ting na go international-o' Lol...😂
The powered version (pre packed) is already in the market. Ogi/pap/akamu embraces the 21st century.....
Chioma Umeizudike - Have you tried the powered form? Properly prepared? You honestly would not know the difference, if it's properly done.
Chioma Umeizudike - When you prepare the powered paste, it should not be too watery. Add boiled water and stir continously, till thicker paste is achieved.
In America what she calls the schaft that's cornmeal we use that for cornbread corn muffins and to coat fish for frying and other Seafoods
No it's just chaff what's left over, not exactly the same as plain cornmeal
I'm looking for an honest answer. Is Nigeria safe for non-African tourist travel?
Profezor Snayp yes
It depends on the area you go to. Lagos and many other areas in Nigeria are safe for foreigners. Other areas may be too dangerous for foriegners.
Profezor Snayp if you’ve viewed other videos on this channel you would have seen foreigners
Lol...yes, I (Black American) was in Lagos in March 2018. I saw nothing to worry about. There was all races of people moving about with out concern (even white females there solo)! I have heard other regions may not be safe.. I only did Lagos State.
Stupid question!you better go visit syria
It’s looks like something we make in our Country called custard
Yes it does, although you can call this is African custard
I wish they captioned everything he was saying. They shortened it a lot
Who else came here from markangelcomedy 😂🤪
Nvm I remember this as a kid in Nigeria 🇳🇬.
May i know what pap water is?some one hdlp me pliz

Technology really makes life easier
She said Warri Pikin talks too much 😂😂😂
Is it washed from corn flour?
Corn is fermented and it is ground, then sieved to separate the chaff, the corn used is usually dry corn not flour. The fermentation process makes it easily digestible and it adds to the nutritional value. Some people add spices to it, you can use Millet, as well.
Very interesting
Cruelty free🐾
l grow up on akamu, but when i was a baby my folks fed me on cerelac baby food and breastfeeding.
I cant drink this ogi lol! Haba the place doesnt look clean. I see flies and a gutter behind them.
You could try making yours 😁

Do they eat anything other than paste in Nigeria?
Aging jedi lol and yet you keep watching?

I’m Ghanaian,but I hate how some stupid people go under a page to display their stupidity. It’s either you enjoy the video or shut up and move on.

DeepOff the subtitles don’t match because they’re translating what he says from pidgin into standard International English.
