Cookbook:Ugali

Cookbook | Ingredients | Recipes

Ugali is a staple dish in Kenya - a porridge-like starch made with maize meal (corn).

Ingredients

4 cups white cornmeal or ground maize
8 cups water
salt to taste

Procedure

Boil the water in a saucepan. When the water is bubbling, add salt (if desired) and pour the corn flour slowly into boiling water, stirring continuously. Try to mash up any lumps that do form - the aim is to get a smooth consistency. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it has the consistency of thick oatmeal.
Serve hot ugali immediately with any meat or vegetable stew, or any dish with a sauce or gravy.
