Equipment

  • Banana leaves, Santana nylons or Small tins

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups corn
  • 2 tbsp palm oil
  • Onions and pepper mix
  • Crayfish (optional)
  • Condiments (maggi, salt e.t.c)

Instructions
 

  • Wash the corn well, taking care to remove any stones or residual sand.
  • Along with onions, pepper and crayfish, blend the corn till it is smooth enough (2 or 3 times should be enough, depending on the sharpness of the blender blades).
  • Add a little water to the paste. You should target a thick running consistency for the paste to get the best results.
  • Add your condiments to taste.
  • Pour the paste in measured quantities into the leaves, nylon or tins.
  • The meal is cooked via the 'steam' method, water is not supposed to get into it. Here are some tips for each of the options
  • In some minutes you can call everybody to come and settle down for some delicious Ogidigbo.

Notes

Note: Don't be surprised that the corn paste doesn't get as smooth as that of beans. It's quite normal.
Palm oil is actually recommended, but few people opt for groundnut oil, so go with whatever works for you.
