Since the very day I made the coconut candy, I sealed it and kept most of it aside. Can stay up to six months.

Then we will drink it as garri
Any mix is okay as long as person belleful.

adecz:
Softness is the key to the 'collaboration'..

It is eaten the way Yoruba eat amala
and gbegiri, not the way Igbo eat hard
akpu or eba with their soups..

I prefer my combo soft.

GabrielYulaw:
Oha and eba. No worries, I no finish the eba.
And today was actually the first time in at least 3 years that I'm cooking oha soup. It turned out okay. Una should clap for me.

Mariangeles:
Drink what as garri? Yam flour?



Okay.

Oha soup breaks up some swallow balls easily, that's why the combo got me curious.

armyofone:

Moi moi and garri for dinner. I made the moi moi from scratch and I will never try it again. It's too stressful, I will rather buy from a fast food restaurant.

White bread for the house, Wheat bread for hubby😁

Not sure how the air fryer cut off at the start of cooking, so the white loaves deflated a bit before I noticed and restarted the fryer ☹️.

Now I just need a stand mixer😅

Alright.

Ingredients include:
Coconuts(I used 6)
Sugar (I used half of a bowl)
Lime (just 1, natural preservative and for a little tangy taste)

Considering that I used six coconuts, one who may only use a few coconuts can reduce the sugar to a 2 small cups of sugar. I heard that a healthier choice of sweetener can be sugar cane extract, but I haven’t tried that.


THE PROCESS:

Break the coconuts. I did that using my mortar and pestle. Break them a little as first so you can pour the coconut water into a bowl. Then break completely, to get the shell off properly.

Once the coconuts are properly shelled, grate the flesh 🥥. Keep the shredded coconut aside.

Use a small amount of water, (a 750ml bottle of water & a half of that will do), to boil the sugar. Squeeze half a slice of lime into it. Boil at low heat.

Warning: Be careful, hot sugar syrup can give permanent scars if it spills on skin, hence the need for low heat and strict monitoring of others, especially children, if you have them around.

Once the mixture starts to bubble and foam up, add the shredded coconut and stir slowly.

This is the harder part. It will take a while for the sugar syrup to dry into the coconut.

Once the sugar syrup dries into the coconut shreds, they will start to turn brown. You need to keep stirring so that everything can turn brown and dry evenly. All while the cooker is on at low heat. You can stop stirring when everything is a slightly golden brown color.

There must not be any moisture, only a little oil, as coconuts do contain oil.

Spread into a clean tray to cool off. Once it’s cool…

Serve immediately or store in airtight packs if you wish (like me).
