Made with corn grits and looks more like Anguamo made with corn. The process may vary due to how you want it. It can be made like rice or Akple texture served with oil and onions creating a savory, and soft corn pudding often served as lunch. Popular in Ghana, particularly in the Central and Western Region (often associated with Elmina\/Cape Coast and Takoradi).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_2 et_pb_heading et_animated et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Ingredients:<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\" data-et-mv-hidden-phone=\"true\"><p class=\"p1\">Cornmill, Cooking Oil, Salt and Onions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_3 et_pb_heading et_animated et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Preparation Process:<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_animated et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\" data-et-mv-hidden-phone=\"true\"><p class=\"p1\">The Corn is mixed with water thoroughly and cooked alone in boiling oiled water with onions while constantly stirring and driving for 10 mins.
