How To Make Ugali
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Ugali is a Kenyan Staple that is a mixture of water and maize flour/meal that's cooked until firm. You need a wooden spatula when cooking and a pot that's not non stick.
Ingredients:
2 cups Boiling Water
2 cups Maize meal
(Have 1/2 cup extra of hot water incase you need to make the Ugali softer)

You have saved millions of bachelors 😅😅
its about time i try this 🤣, 26 years later.
Thank you for this guide on how to make ugali. I recently read a book about how the Kenyan marathon runners train. It said that they eat ugali, so I'm going to attempt to make some.
Ive just finished cooking my first ugali as a first year and let me tell you maina 😫 Im soo tired 😂
Amazing content Chef! Very informative
Thanks for sharing Chef
Thank you so much! The best explanation ever 👍
Wow thanks for teaching me how to cook be blessed
Thank you, Chef.
My Kenyan ex tried to teach me to make ugali, but I were never confident in how to stir, flip, wet hands, etc without burning or otherwise messing up the ugali. I miss her cooking no lie😂 Thank you for this tutorial:)😊
Wow that was easy enough.. I was waiting for u to do this one Raphael.. long time subscriber
Thank you for the lesson 🙏🏿
Oh this is my hardest thing in the kitchen. I actually find it easier chapati than ugali surely.

My grandma from the Caribbean island of Antigua makes funji using okra water and yellow maize meal. Same process as ugali. The funji has to form a crust in the pot. Cheers!
Thanks for the show
Chef Raphael, I love you.
Slay queens watching this tutorial to keep them mandem happy😅😅
In India we do the same but small change. Just add a little bit of water to make it a thick juice and a table spoon of Jaggery powder or Salt for better taste. Then we can drink it in 2 minute's. Less time. More benefit. Same is applicable for millets powder, Raagi powder, Barley powder or any protein powder instead of maize flour. Your cooking is similar to Tsampa. It's the Himalayan hikers staple food made with roasted barley flour. All the best Sir. Love you from India.

adding sugar is not good. And usually people dont eat ugali by itself. It's a carb source, but you need protein as well from meat/fish/legumes
In Kampala making ugali is hard business... It's stress. Glad I got to this video.... Am sorted
thanks i like every think i do must have ameasurement
I had Ugali with mutton curry in Tanzania and just loved it. In India, Karnataka state, we prepare Ragi mudhe from Finger millet which looks similar to Ugali. Ugali is white colour and Ragi is brown colour.
Thank you
Very good
I have never made ugali in my 34 years... lovely meal but I keep having family who make it better.
Thanks

In Grenada we use coconut milk and a little salt. Some persons add chopped garlic and seasoning peppers. We stir till firm then cover with banana leaves over slow fire for about half hour.
Very easy to cooked here in Philippines,same procedure but we cooked it on firewood
Good stuff bro. Baging the ugali in the wall was our way of testing kama imeiva.

Eat ugali with what makes you happy
Do you mix flour with maize or it's plain flour
We do it differently in Zimbabwe
Is this what we call coo coo in Trinidad?

Ugali is best in it's original form, but you can try
Hello chef. There is another way of making ugali. You start as if you are making porridge, ie, when the water boils, you mix some flour with cold water, add to the boiling water, stir, when it comes to a complete boil, keep adding the flour to your desired texture. This method avoids those bits of uncooked flour you find in ugali. Is this method legit, chef?

Depends on the unga ... but it is best to put some unga in the cold.water and stir till boil let that mix boil for at least 3 -5 minutes then gradually add unga till you get the consistency you prefer some like it super soft medium or really hard ugali unaeza piga mwizi nayo..this way the ugali stays hot for long even whilst eating on the other hand when pour the unga without the boiling step that ugali itakua mbichi..and will have parts with raw unga in the mix.the sufuria doesnt need to be brown for you to know the ugali is ready.. maybe its the kenyan style

Surprised its totally unseasoned...we have a few dishes made from cornmeal but they are seasoned...like cornbread which is leavened eggs are added salt and some sugar, than baked...another version of cornbread we eat is hot water cornbread or corn cake aka. cornpone... Cornmeal water salt and sugar are optional a batter is made and fried with oil to form pancake like disk of cornmeal. Butter is added to both cornbread and corn cake after cooking for flavor. And last Grits which is a very coarse grind of cornmeal which is cooked with just water, as ugali is but most will add seasoning.. like salt to the water the grits safe cooked until the grains have softened and cooked further depending on how stiff you like them...Many add butter and salt after cooking some sugar and butter afterward. Still others add salt and cheese after cooking, I add a little sour cream to give mine a creamy but stiff consistency.

This tutorial was just not the best, it was very rushed and can be misleading. You are seen adding water to the sufuria then followed by the flour without explaining that the water should be let to boil. 👎👎
