Nsima is the Malawian equivalent of Zambian Nshima and is made either from cornmeal or ground, dried, cassava.

Ingredients:

400g ufa (either cornmeal or ground, dried cassava)
1.5l water
butter

Method:

Heat the water in a large pan until lukewarm then mix a little of the ufa into the water, stir rapidly to ensure there are no lumps then bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Sprinkle the remaining ufa over the top of the music, a little at a time stir rapidly with each addition. Keep adding ufa and stirring until all the ufa is used-up and the nisma is smooth and well cooked.

Add a little butter and serve with African hot sauce or a pumpkin leaf relish.
