Though the standard white maize meal ugali is prepared in Rwanda I came across this version recently that combines white maize meal and gari (dried fermented maize).
Ingredients:
500g white maize meal (plus more)
250g gari
1.9l water
butter, to finish
Method:
Combine the maize meal and gari in a jug.
Add the water to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Slowly pour the maize meal and gari mixture into the boiling water to avoid forming lumps. Stir continuously and mash any lumps that do form.
Add more maize meal until the mixture becomes thicker than mashed potatoes. Cook for three to four minutes, stirring continually. Top with a pat of butter then cover and keep warm.
Serve immediately as an accompaniment to any Rwandan stew or soup (or any meal with a gravy).
