How To Make Ugali

Ugali is a Kenyan Staple that is a mixture of water and maize flour/meal that's cooked until firm. You need a wooden spatula when cooking and a pot that's not non stick.

Ingredients:
2 cups Boiling Water
2 cups Maize meal
(Have 1/2 cup extra of hot water incase you need to make the Ugali softer)

Thank you for this guide on how to make ugali. I recently read a book about how the Kenyan marathon runners train. It said that they eat ugali, so I'm going to attempt to make some.

We love Ugali, in America it's called Grits. More served in southern states of the US. Delicious. Thanks, for sharing in how to make Ugali.
Yummy.

We use, water, salt and butter mostly. But, creamy texture 1:2 water

Or the old fashioned southern style:

Ingredients

1 cup grits

1 cup milk

3 cups water

Instructions

Boil 3 cups of salted water (3 tsp of salt is PLENTY)

Stir in 1 cup of grits (any kind--white, yellow, stone ground, but NOT INSTANT GRITS)

Add 1 cup milk (or cream, coconut milk, oat milk, etc.) Stir.

Lower heat to LOW. Cover. Let cook 20 min.

Season with salt & pepper to taste. Garnish with whatever.

Mostly known as breakfast dish, eggs and bacon as main dish. Side order of grits.

In India we do the same but small change. Just add a little bit of water to make it a thick juice and a table spoon of Jaggery powder or Salt for better taste. Then we can drink it in 2 minute's. Less time. More benefit.
Same is applicable for millets powder, Raagi powder, Barley powder or any protein powder instead of maize flour.
Your cooking is similar to Tsampa. It's the Himalayan hikers staple food made with roasted barley flour.
All the best Sir. Love you from India.

My Kenyan ex tried to teach me to make ugali, but I were never confident in how to stir, flip, wet hands, etc without burning or otherwise messing up the ugali.

I miss her cooking no lie😂

Thank you for this tutorial:)😊

Oh this is my hardest thing in the kitchen. I actually find it easier chapati than ugali surely.

My grandma from the Caribbean island of Antigua makes funji using okra water and yellow maize meal. Same process as ugali. The funji has to form a crust in the pot. Cheers!

I had Ugali with mutton curry in Tanzania and just loved it. In India, Karnataka state, we prepare Ragi mudhe from Finger millet which looks similar to Ugali. Ugali is white colour and Ragi is brown colour.
