Since the previous reviews mentioned the similarity of this dish to polenta, thought I would begin by chiming in. Though the basic ingredients are the same, my results were rather different in texture. Polenta coats a spoon when cooked and can be poured if you are looking to chill it. My ugali was much thicker and would actually sit on the spoon and even thick and chunky enough to pick up with a fork. Served this with leftover Recipe #215110 as a filling and pleasing lunch. I enjoyed that the cornmeal was thick as it sat below my stew rather than melting into it. Thanks Elmotoo.

Although I didn't make this exact recipe, I love ugali. Butter really adds to ugali.

I made a half recipe of this and that was plenty. To me it is like polenta too. Looks pretty and a pleasant change.

We had Africa night recently and I served ugali with zigni (Zigni). It was delicious. I really appreciate how informative this posting is and how clear and detailed the instructions are. Couldn't find the fine corn flour and used medium, but will stay on the lookout for fine grind. Thank you sooo much for a good posting.

I used fine cornmeal (yellow as it was what I had on hand) and followed the instructions--so far as I can tell, this is no different from plain polenta--and delicious served with the Yetakelt W'et (spicy mixed vegetable stew) Yetakelt W'et (spicy mixed vegetable stew).
