HOW TO COOK UGALI (AFRICAN FOOD)

 Here’s how to cook ugali at home (serves 1):

1. Heat half a liter of water until the water boils.
2. Add a handful of maize flour to the boiling water.
3. After the water reaches a boil again, add more maize flour, stirring slowly.
4. Pause the stirring for 10-20 seconds to allow the ugali to cook.
5. Repeat stirring and pausing until a thick consistent mixture is formed.
6. Let the ugali rest on fire for about three minutes—or until the smell of baking ugali fills the air.
7. Turn the ugali onto a serving plate.
8. Serve the ugali while hot. Ugali is commonly eaten with stews of vegetables, fish, beef, or chicken.
