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)

its about time i try this 🤣, 26 years later.

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.

[@ryandanngetich2524]

Ive just finished cooking my first ugali as a first year and let me tell you maina 😫 Im soo tired 😂

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

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:)😊

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!

In Kampala making ugali is hard business... It's stress. Glad I got to this video.... Am sorted

[@jesudasig3088]

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.

[@akn5876]

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.

[@dave_kermit]

Drink?!😮😳

[@zz23-de6zq]

adding sugar is not good. And usually people dont eat ugali by itself. It's a carb source, but you need protein as well from meat/fish/legumes

In Grenada we use coconut milk and a little salt. Some persons add chopped garlic and seasoning peppers. We stir till firm then cover with banana leaves over slow fire for about half hour.

Depends on the unga ... but it is best to put some unga in the cold.water and stir till boil let that mix boil for at least 3 -5 minutes then gradually add unga till you get the consistency you prefer some like it super soft medium or really hard ugali unaeza piga mwizi nayo..this way the ugali stays hot for long even whilst eating on the other hand when pour the unga without the boiling step that ugali itakua mbichi..and will have parts with raw unga in the mix.the sufuria doesnt need to be brown for you to know the ugali is ready.. maybe its the kenyan style

[@ChefRaphael]

The browning is not a must but adds flavour if that’s your thing

[@janetm7693]

Hello chef. There is another way of making ugali. You start as if you are making porridge, ie, when the water boils, you mix some flour with cold water, add to the boiling water, stir, when it comes to a complete boil, keep adding the flour to your desired texture. This method avoids those bits of uncooked flour you find in ugali. Is this method legit, chef?

Surprised its totally unseasoned...we have a few dishes made from cornmeal but they are seasoned...like cornbread which is leavened eggs are added salt and some sugar, than baked...another version of cornbread we eat is hot water cornbread or corn cake aka. cornpone... Cornmeal water salt and sugar are optional a batter is made and fried with oil to form pancake like disk of cornmeal. Butter is added to both cornbread and corn cake after cooking for flavor. And last Grits which is a very coarse grind of cornmeal which is cooked with just water, as ugali is but most will add seasoning.. like salt to the water the grits safe cooked until the grains have softened and cooked further depending on how stiff you like them...Many add butter and salt after cooking some sugar and butter afterward. Still others add salt and cheese after cooking, I add a little sour cream to give mine a creamy but stiff consistency.
