  • 2 cups maize meal (cornmeal)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt.
  • Gradually add maize meal to the boiling water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Reduce heat and continue stirring until the mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pot, forming a firm dough-like consistency (about 5–10 minutes).
  • Cover the pot and let it steam on low heat for a few minutes to cook through.
  • Serve hot, shaped into a mound or sliced portions.
