With only two ingredients required, cooking ugali is one of the simplest Kenyan dish you can make for your friends and family.
Ugali is a staple dish for many Kenyan households.
Many people often have ugali leftover but little idea of what to do with it.
- Recooking
I used to eat cold leftover ugali until my friend told me that you can combine fresh maize flour with the leftover, to get a fresh, hot fresh dish straight out of the sufuria.
Step 1
Add water to a sufuria and bring it to boil
Step 2
Cut your ugali into small pieces, and add them to the boiling water. Mash them for a minute, before adding your maize flour. You will not even feel the lumps once your ugali is ready.
- Frying (oil and salt)
Step 1
Cut your ugali into long strips, removing the hard crust on the outside.
Step 2
Sprinkle salt(optional) on the ugali.
Step 3
Put oil in your pan, and let it get hot before putting it in the pan. Fry on all sides before serving.
- Frying (with eggs and bread crumbs)
If you want to go a little extra, You can add eggs to spice things up.
Step 1
After removing the crust and cutting your ugali in long strips, set them aside.
Step 2
Beat 2 eggs in a bowl and add your necessary spices including salt.
Step 3
Dip your strips in the beaten eggs and let it soak for 30 seconds
Step 4
In another plate, pour some breadcrumbs, then preheat your oil in a pan.
Step 5
Remove piece by piece of the ugali, roll them in the breadcrumbs before frying.
Enjoy with ketchup or mustard, over chicken or eat as a snack.
- Ugali mix
Step 1
Cut your ugali into small cubes
Step 2
Cut tomatoes, bell peppers (hoho) in a small bowl before adding 2 eggs. Combine, then add salt and desired spices.
Step 3
Heat oil in a pan, and throw in your ugali. Ensure all sides are coated with oil, before adding the egg and tomato mixture.
Combine and scramble the eggs until everything is coated. Cook for 5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
