Instructions
 

Ugali:

  • In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil.
  • Gradually add the maize flour or cornmeal to the boiling water while stirring continuously.
  • Keep stirring until the mixture thickens and forms a firm dough-like consistency.
  • Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow it to cook for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Once the Ugali is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes.
  • Serve the Ugali in a round shape or scoop portions onto plates.

Sukuma Wiki:

  • Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent and slightly golden.
  • 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.
