Preparing a Liquefied Concentrated Porridge (LCP) consists in putting together « a lot of flour » and « a little water », and then liquefying the thick porridge without diluting it.

It is the "1+2+3 Recipe" :  1 volume of flour is cooked in 2 volumes of water, then 3 pinches of malt are added to the thick and warm porridge.
 
The liquefaction of thick porridges prepared with fatty compound flour such as BAMiSA flour enables the preparation of porridges containing high protein-energetic density, having a nutritional value up to 3 to 4 times higher than ordinary porridges. LCPs meet the Public Health objective which is to fight child malnutrition with local resources.

       It is easy to liquefy thick porridges with malt or with another local amylase (mother’s milk or saliva). This document enables health workers, animators in the 'Maquis Bébés' BAMiSA, Moms to explain and pass down to their families the "1+2+3 Recipe" during nutritional education sessions and in the schools. It is presented through pictures:
