Ugali processing plant...


Ugali processing plant...

Ok, so it’s not much of a processing plant, really its just a flimsy pot with a flimsier top on a home made stove.

The thing I remember them making in this was ugali (which I think I mentioned earlier but anyway think "congealed grits") but I think they also boiled milk in this as well as made mala and yogurt in this thing (but I am less sure about those).

I was not a fan of ugali (though I do have an undying love for grits) and this ugali had a distinct smoked flavor to it (no doubt from the charcoal they were burning to cook it) which did not add to its appeal in the least.

I do have to admit that ugali had potential, a bit of salt, or cheese and perhaps fry it up ah la polenta and viola! gourmet!
