Ingredients

2 cups Water
1 1/2 cups White Cornmeal

Instructions

Bring the liquid to a bring to a low-boil in a medium saucepan.

Reduce the scalding up to low, and stirring constantly with a fluff up, gradually introduce the cornmeal to the boiling liquid.

The ugali will begin to thicken quite quickly.

Continue preparing on low scalding up, stirring constantly with a sturdy wooden spoon, until the ugali begins to pull away from the sides of the wok, hold together, and takes on the aroma of roasted corn.

Turn it out immediately onto a serving plate.

If you would like, using a spoon or spatula, quickly shape it into a thick disk or round.

The ugali will continue to firm as it cools and will be thick enough to cut with a knife (similar to firm polenta).
