In a saucepan or pot, bring the water to a boil over medium heat.

Gradually add the maize flour to the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.

Keep stirring the mixture until it thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pot, about 5-10 minutes.

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow it to simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.

Taste the Ugali and add salt if desired, stirring to incorporate.

Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let the Ugali rest for a few minutes.

Serve the Ugali warm alongside your favorite stew, grilled meats, or vegetables.
