Step:
Boil water until it bubbles. The water should be very hot. This ensures the ugali will cook perfectly
Add a cup full of flour into the water. Let it cook a few seconds until water starts to cover the flour
Use a wooden spoon to quickly start mixing the flour and water
Add a handful of flour and continue to mix the water and flour it will start to come together
Reduce heat to medium and keep turning the ugali as it continues to stick together
Gather the ugali and press it onto the side of the sufuria
Place the wooden spoon under the ugali and form into a ball in the middle of the sufuria
Repeat pressing the ugali on the side of the sufuria and turning it to the middle
Once the ugali has become firm, turn it once more and smoothen it into a round. You will know your ugali is ready once you start to smell the aroma clearly
Turn the ugali over onto a plate
Dip the wooden spoon into water and use it to smoothen the ugali into a round ball on the plate
Serve the ugali whole or slice. Enjoy with your favorite stew, meat, veggies, fish etc
