Boil water in a large pot over high heat until bubbling vigorously.

Add salt to the boiling water and stir to dissolve.

Gradually sprinkle maize meal into the pot while stirring continuously to avoid lumps.

Reduce heat to medium and continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Once thickened, reduce heat to low and cover the pot, allowing it to steam for 10-15 minutes.

Stir the mixture again to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.

If desired, mix in butter and sugar for added flavor.

Serve hot with vegetables or meat on the side.
