Agbélikoko (fermented maize porridge with ginger)

Instructions

1. Dilute the fermented maize in cold water to get a smooth liquid without lumps.
2. Add the grated ginger and salt, then pass the mixture through a fine sieve if needed.
3. Pour the liquid into a pan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly.
4. When the porridge starts to thicken, after about 15 minutes, add the sugar and keep stirring.
5. If the texture is too thick, add a little hot water; if it is too runny, stir in the diluted flour.
6. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring, then take off the heat.
7. Serve warm in bowls, possibly with a drizzle of condensed milk.
