How to cook Porridge
Uji porridge is breakfast and supper for children and adults across Tanzania, made from maize, millet or mixed flours. Eaten morning and evening with sugar, milk or ginger. Filling and grain-based comfort food.
- Boil water with a pinch of salt in a pot.
- Mix millet and maize flour with cold water into a smooth slurry.
- Pour slurry slowly into boiling water while stirring with a whisk or spoon.
- Cook medium heat, stirring often to prevent lumps.
- Reduce heat as porridge thickens.
- Add milk and stir 5 more minutes.
- Sweeten to taste; porridge should be pourable but thick.
- Serve hot in bowls; add ground ginger if desired.
Tips
- Slurry prevents lumps — never dump dry flour into boiling water.
- Millet-maize mix tastes more traditional than single flour.
- Constant stirring is the secret to smooth uji.
