ogi

fermented cereal pudding from Nigeria, typically made from maize, sorghum, or millet

Ogi, pap, eko, koko or akamu is a cereal pudding and street food from Southwestern Nigeria, typically made from maize, sorghum, or millet. Traditionally, the grains are soaked in water for up to three days, before wet-milling or grinding, sieving to remove husks, and straining. It is then boiled into a pap, or cooked to make a creamy pudding also known as agidi or eko. It may be eaten with moin moin, acarajé or bread.
