Ugali

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 4 cups finely ground cornmeal (if you can find the kind that is so finely ground as to be like flour, grab it!!)
• 8 cups water

Recipe

• 1 heat water to boiling in a saucepan. slowly pour the corn flour into boiling water. avoid forming lumps.
• 2 stir continuously and mash any lumps that do form. add more corn flour until it is thicker than mashed potatoes.
• 3 cook for three or four minutes, continue to stir. (continuing to stir as the ugali thickens is the secret to success, i.e., lump-free ugali.)
• 4 top with a pat of butter or margarine, if desired.
• 5 cover and keep warm.
• 6 serve immediately with any meat or vegetable stew, or any dish with a sauce or gravy.
