Prepare the ugali: In a large saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Gradually whisk in the cornmeal, ensuring no lumps form. Reduce heat to low and continue to stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 20-25 minutes, or until a thick, firm porridge forms. Add more water if it becomes too stiff. Cover and keep warm.
