    My #30DaysOfCooking challenge could not end without this staple Kenyan Meal. Eaten almost daily with different vegetables and meats, it's so easy to make, so #DAY23 is especially dedicated to it.

    Just a note to anyone assuming she's using wheat flour- this is refined cornmeal flour, not the flour we use for baking in the US. It's sweeter and more textured ❤

      For all those wondering, maize flour/meal is coursely ground to a consistency almost like semolina or polenta. It is NOT sweet since it's not from sweet corn but rather usual/standard white maize.

    I know how to cook ugali but was wondering whether there is a way to cook it without having it stick on the normal sufurias.

    • @Crayray57
      @Crayray57 3 роки тому +1

      That's how it cooks properly. If you use a non stick pot, the crust (mokoro) will keep mixing back into the ugali as you mix it. If you want the sufuria to get clean faster, just pour hot water in it once you remove/serve the ugali. It comes out faster than with cold water.
