Ugali is a staple dish in Kenya - a porridge-like starch made with maizemeal(corn).

Ingredients 4 white cornmeal or ground maize 8 cups water salt to taste

Cooking:

Boil the water in a saucepan. When the water is bubbling, 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. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until it has the consistency of thick oatmeal.

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