Akamu, eko, koko or pap as fondly called is a staple breakfast for Nigerians. It is mostly taken on cold - weather mornings if served hot.
It can be taken by infants, children and adults. It is very rich in carbohydrate. It can be taken alone or supported by proteins such as milk, akara, moimoi or beans.
I decided to prepare it this morning as breakfast to chase away the cold harmattan.
