HOW TO MAKE POSHO / UGALI / MAIZE MEAL |The cooking nurse

maize flour

🥗Healthier: whole grain flour

💰Cheaper: cornmeal

Whole grain flour adds fiber and nutrients while cornmeal is often less expensive.

Boil water in a pot.

Once the water is boiled, add maize flour and mix continuously.

Ensure the measurements are correct: 2 parts water to 1 part maize flour.

If using banana leaves, ensure the posho is soft to absorb flavors and not dry out.

Mix until you achieve the desired consistency for the posho.

Place the mixture in fresh banana leaves, tucking it in to absorb flavors.

Cover the banana leaves and cook on low heat for 10 minutes, turning occasionally.

If cooking without banana leaves, it can take about 25 to 30 minutes to serve.
