How To Prepare Delicious Kenyan Wimbi Uji At Home

Wimbi Uji is gluten-free thus very healthy and nutritious. You can add lemon to make your porridge sour or sugar if you prefer sweetened. Uji is usually satisfying; a full mug of hot and delicious Uji can keep you full until midday.

Ingredients

½ cup of Wimbi Flour

3 cups of Water

Lemon juice

Sugar or honey

Procedure

Mix the flour and ½ cup water into a paste.

Pour the remaining cups of water into a cooking pan on medium heat.

Let the water heat thoroughly and continuously stir the water as you add in the flour paste a little at a time.

Continue stirring until the mixture becomes thick; the stirring prevents lumps from forming.

Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes.

You can add the sugar/honey or the lemon according to your taste as it simmers.

After that, let the mixture cook for another 5 minutes on low heat to porridge.

If you prefer less thick Uji, you can add more water to the mixture.

Serve your Uji and enjoy your delicious breakfast.

The flour used to make Uji varies from one person to another since some prefer to combine ingredients to their flour, such as sesame seeds and groundnuts. Some prefer to use milk in place of water in their Uji. Fermenting your flour gives your Uji a sour taste; some prefer fermenting to using lemon. You can add cardamon or cinnamon in your porridge to add more flavor.
