Mix mealy meal and cassava meal with cold water in a pot to make a paste.

Add hot water to the paste and mix well.

If the mixture is too thick, remove some and add cold water to thin it out.

Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 5-6 minutes.

If the mixture spills over, add more mealy meal mixed with cold water to thicken it up.

Continue to mix until the mixture is thick and has no lumps.

Cover and let it simmer until it has little streaks in it, indicating it's ready to serve.

Use a wet serving spoon to scoop out a medium lump of nshima.
