Prepare the nshima: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of maize meal until smooth. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Gradually add the remaining 1 cup of maize meal, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon to form a thick, smooth porridge. Continue to cook, stirring and folding, for about 15-20 minutes until firm and cooked through. Cover and keep warm.
