Ingredients

4 cups finely ground cornmeal (If you can find the kind that is so finely ground as to be like flour, grab it!!)
8 cups water

Directions

1

Heat water to boiling in a saucepan. Slowly pour the corn flour into boiling water. Avoid forming lumps.
2

Stir continuously and mash any lumps that do form. Add more corn flour until it is thicker than mashed potatoes.
3

Cook for three or four minutes, continue to stir. (Continuing to stir as the ugali thickens is the secret to success, i.e., lump-free ugali.)
4

Top with a pat of butter or margarine, if desired.
5

Cover and keep warm.
6

Serve immediately with any meat or vegetable stew, or any dish with a sauce or gravy.
