Ubugali

Prepare the Cornmeal Mixture

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil.

Add the salt and stir well.

Add the Cornmeal

Gradually add the cornmeal to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.

Reduce the heat to low.

Cook the Ubugali

Continue to cook the cornmeal mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pot. This usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

If using, stir in the butter or vegetable oil for added richness.

Serve

Transfer the Ubugali to a serving dish and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
