Ugali — Kenyan recipe
Ugali, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Ugali

White cornmeal stirred into boiling water and worked over low heat until it stiffens into a smooth, dense loaf you can cut with a knife. It is the everyday starch across East Africa — plain on purpose, there to be torn off and used to scoop up stew.
