Ingredients

  • Maize (White Corn Flour) about 2 cups
  • Water
  • Salt (Optional)

Directions

1

Bring water in a pan to a boil (about 4 Cups).

2

Reduce heat to medium and put flour, gradually stirring until the consistency is stiff.

3

Stir continuously, and cover for about 5 minutes.

4

Stir again and form into a mound.

5

The Ugali will be done when it pulls from the sides of the pan easily and does not stick. The finished product should look like stiff grits.

6

Cover the pot with a plate and invert the pan so that the Ugali "drops" on the plate. Serve with meat stew.
