<h2>Directions on how to prepare <em>Ugali</em> <h2>
<p>The following is the method I use to prepare <em>ugali</em></p>
<ol>
<li>Pour water in a Sufuria (Large deep Pan) and let it simmer until it starts to boil. It should completely boil</li>
<li>Pour in a good quantity of the Maize Meal Flour. Wait for a few minutes as the water keeps boiling </li>
<li> Turn the mixture with a long wooden spoon as you incorporate the Water and Flour. Add more flour but sprinkle it and continue mixing</li>
<li> The mixture should start becoming heavier</li>
<li>Keep mixing and stirring as you sprinkle more flour. The Ugali will begin to firm up</li>
<li>Now the work starts. Hold the Sufuria (Deep cooking pan) with Mittens or heavy
cloth to prevent burning your hands. Keep stirring the Flour with a wooden
spoon like you are folding the Flour into itself</li>
<li>The Ugali (Cornmeal) has now become firm. It will start coming off the
sides of the cooking pan. Press it against the wall of the Sufuria
(Deep cooking pan) with the wooden spoon</li>
<li>Stick your wooden spoon under the pressed Ugali (cornmeal) and turn, remove it from the wall to the center of the pan</li>
<li>Repeat the pressing of the Ugali (Cornmeal) and turning it to the middle of the pan. At this
point the Ugali (Cornmeal) will start smelling really good.
That's how you know the Ugali (Cornmeal) is cooking well</li>
<li>Let the Ugali (Cornmeal) stay in the middle of the
Sufuria (Deep cooking pan) and turn down the heat really low.
After a few minutes press and turn it again</li>
<li>Form the Ugali (Cornmeal) into a round form
and remove from heat. Turn the Ugali (Cornmeal) onto a
plate from the Sufuria (Deep cooking pan)</li>
<li>Cover the plate with the cooking pan for a few minutes as you dip the wooden spoon into some water to make it wet</li>
<li>Use the wet wooden spoon to press the Ugali
(Cornmeal) into a round mound. As you press, keep turning the plate so that you can shape the whole Ugali (Cornmeal)</li>
<p> And Alas! the meal is all ready; you can choose to warm the stew or if still warm, serve and enjoy the meal </p>
