Ingredients

8 cups of corn (dried corn)
Chiffon cloth
Bowls
Lots of clean water
Uma leaves or white nylon (for wrap)

Instructions

Soak your corn for 24 hours
Wash the corn and transfer into a cooking pot, add water to cover them and set on heat.
Stir occasional and turn off the heat when it is about to boil.
Drain the water and take the corn to the grinding mill (you can use your blender) Grind the corn and rinse it.
Drape the chiffon cloth over a big bowl and tie it up. Scoop in some ground corn in handful portions and tart rubbing it on the surface while adding water. At some point you will feel just the chaff. Remove it and scoop in more ground corn.
Remove the chiffon cloth once you are done and allow the starch in the bowl to sit for up to 3 hours.
After three hours, the starch should have settled at the bottom of the bowl and water on top. Decant – pour out the clear water and stir what is left with a wooden turner. It should not be as thick as dissolved pap or custard and it shouldn’t be too watery either.
It should be about 2 litters (2000ml) if you used 8 cups of corn. Pour into a pot, set on heat and start stirring with a wooden turner on low heat
Continue stirring until it looks like prepared pap but maybe a little thicker. This should take about 15 minutes before you get to this point. Pour into smaller plates or use a leave to wrap
Allow 1-3 hours for the agidi to cool and solidify
