Ingredients
Ugali:
- 2 cups maize flour or cornmeal
- 4 cups water
- Salt (to taste)
Sukuma Wiki:
- 1 bunch collard greens or kale, washed and chopped
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 2 tomatoes diced

- 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions
Ugali:
- In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil.

- Add the diced tomatoes to the pan and cook for a few minutes until they soften.
- Now, add the chopped collard greens or kale to the pan. Stir everything together to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the Sukuma Wiki cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the greens are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Remove from heat and serve the Sukuma Wiki alongside the Ugali.
