STARCH
We are going the local way Today. I remember when I was young and my daddy took us to my hometown (Odogbolu) for Christmas.... I saw an old woman eating this yellow starch and I was like what is this and she said her native food, I was so surprised because I have not seen that type of food before, been an inquisitive kid I asked what part of odogbolu and she said she is from itsekiri not from Odogbolu, she said she only resides in odogbolu. I have also seen my urobo friends eating this food, the difference Between urobo & itsekiri starch is that Urobo prefers their starch texture hard while Itsekiris' prefers theirs soft. Its very easy to prepare.
Recipe
500g Starch
800-1000ml water
2 Tablespoons Palm oil
Method
1. Place the starch in a steel pot or a non stick fry pan, and add the water to it.800ml for hard Consistency and 1000ml for soft consistency.
2. Dissolve the starch in the water till well blended
3. Add the 2 Tablespoons of palm oil to the Starch solution
4. Mix with a Wooden spatula (omorogun) to make it evenly mixed ensure there is no lumps underneath
5. Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously in a direction.
6. It starts forming as it cooks, stir continuously till its well cooked. If the consistency is to hard you can add little water and stir continuously as you cook.
7. It is ready, Serve with Banga Soup or Ogbono Soup..
Yummy.....
