Continue stirring the mixture over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, until it thickens to a smooth, firm consistency. The cornmeal should be fully cooked.

Remove the pot from the heat and let the ugali rest for a few minutes before serving.
💡 專業提示
- ✓To prevent clumping, you can mix the cornmeal with a small amount of cold water to form a slurry before adding it to the boiling water.
- ✓If the porridge becomes too thick, add a little hot water and stir to achieve the desired consistency.
- ✓For a richer flavor, some recipes suggest substituting some or all of the water with milk or coconut milk, or adding a tablespoon of butter or oil while cooking.
