Ugali is a staple Kenyan meal, as it is to many African countries and named differently as per the location. Ugali is made from maize flour and water, and is cooked to a very thickened consistency. You will need maize flour, water, saucepan/sufuria and wooden cooking spoon.

Steps

1

Boil three cups of water in a sufuria.

Add one cup of maize flour and stir continuously with the cooking stick to do away with any lumps. Add flour to get the right texture which should be firm and smooth.

Remove the leaves from branches and wash well. Cut into small pieces. You can opt to boil them a bit before frying (optional). Mine were very fresh so I skipped boiling step. Cut. (you can mix Managu and spinach if need be) - Chop onion and fry them till golden brown - Add Managu while stirring. -Add salt to taste
4

Cut beef into small pieces. - chop onion and fry it. Add crashed garlic just before the onions brown.
5

Add beef while stirring. Cover the pan and cook in medium heat for 3 minutes. - Add diced tomatoes, stir and cover. - Add little water (as desired) and cook till tender
6

Add a crashed knorr beef cube and salt to taste. - Stir and let it cook for like three minutes
