Ingredients

  • 4 cups white cornmeal or ground maize
  • 8 cups water
  • Salt to taste (optional)

Directions

1

Boil the water in a saucepan .

2

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. A whisk makes this easier, as does sifting the flour.

3

Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it has the consistency of thick oatmeal.

4

Serve hot ugali immediately with any meat or vegetable stew, or any dish with a sauce or gravy.
