Ingredients
- 1 cup ngaiwa (white corn meal )
- 3 cups boiling water
Make it step by step
- Large broad wooden spoon or paddle for stirring (mtako)
- Heat the water until lukewarm and mix in a little of the ngaiwa, stirring well to prevent lumps. Bring to a boil, always stirring and reduce the heat.
- Allow the mixture to boil gently for a few minutes. It should look like a thin transparent porridge. Sprinkle in the remaining ngaiwa, 'pang'ono pang'ono' (little by little), stirring continuously to avoid lumps from forming.
