We forgot to check the #loadshedding schedule and the power went out just as I was about to make it. Just finished making the curry so we cooked it on an open fire

Steps

90 minutes

1

Light the pit. If you're using wood, it will look like this.
2

Wait until the wood has started burning low like this. It's still very hoy so make sure you use all the water
3

In the cast iron pot add milk, water, salt and polenta and stir until all mixed in
4

Cover but keep on stirring consistently. The fire can't be controlled like a stove so you need to check on it as often as possible. Add more water while tasting if it's cooked
5

When it reaches this consistency, it is ready to be removed. Please use protective clothing because the pot will be extremely hot. Serve when ready while it's hot.
