Yes! this is a refined version of Eko or agidi and it’s known as kanjika. Kanjika is a tasty jello-like sweet made from fermented corn starch and coconut milk. It can be eaten alone as a snack or soaked in milk, just the way eko is soaked. The best part is, you could give it any shape, colour and flavor you want to. I used a heart shaped mold for the kanjika in the pics and also 3 basic colors; red, blue and yellow although the coloring part can be skipped. It’s really easy to make and kids would also love to take part in the fun.
