Ugali RecipeOrigin: East Africa Period: Traditional |
|
Ugali is East Africa's equivalent of South African Mealie-meal now made from maize meal, but originally made from millet. This is used as a starchy accompaniment to soups or stews. This is the East African equivalent of West African fufu. Ingredients:
750g corn flour, white cornmeal or ground maize. Cornmeal grits, farina or sorghum flour or millet flour can also be used 
Ugali Preparation:Method:Add the water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Slowly pour the cornflour or cornmeal into the boiling water to avoid forming lumps. Stir continuously and mash any lumps that do form. Add more cornflour until the mixture becomes thicker than mashed potatoes. Cook for three to four minutes, stirring continually. Top with a pat of butter then cover and keep warm. Serve immediately as an accompaniment to any African stew or soup (or any meal with a gravy). |
