UGALI

I've learned a lot researching for the ZWT '05: Eastern Africa's Ugali (similar to Southern Africa's Mealie-meal, Nshima, and Sadza) is usually made from maize (corn) which was brought from the Americas to Africa by Europeans. Previously it was made from millet. These starchy Fufu-like "foundations" are the Eastern African versions of Western African staples like Fufu (which is generally made from yams, plantains, or cassava tubers) and Banku, Kenkey, or Tô. -- They are all starchy accompaniments for the African soup or stew or sauce, or other dishes with sauce or gravy. They are generally made by boiling and vigorously stirring a starchy ingredient into a thick, smooth mush. Many Africans feel they haven't had a meal unless they have eaten Fufu or Ugali with a sauce or stew.

Steps:

  • Heat water to boiling in a saucepan. Slowly pour the corn flour into boiling water. Avoid forming lumps.
  • Stir continuously and mash any lumps that do form. Add more corn flour until it is thicker than mashed potatoes.
  • Cook for three or four minutes, continue to stir. (Continuing to stir as the ugali thickens is the secret to success, i.e., lump-free ugali.)
  • Top with a pat of butter or margarine, if desired.
  • Cover and keep warm.
  • Serve immediately with any meat or vegetable stew, or any dish with a sauce or gravy.

  • Make the Pap by mixing the water with a cup of cornmeal and salt. Place on medium heat and continue to stir until the light Pap is formed. Then leave the Pap to come to cook—about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to low and start adding the remaining cornmeal a little at a time, continually stirring until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Cook further if too soft (it gets thicker the longer it cooks) or add a bit of water if too thick and stir a couple of times till the water is absorbed and the sadza is uniformly combined.
