I lived in Tanzania for 8 years and they make a similar dish with corn flour, called ugali. I usually add a bit of salt to give it some flavor, but this is optional. I'm used to it being served with kidney beans prepared in fresh coconut milk... mmmmmm!

I'm in Nigeria right now and seeing this recipe makes my heart glad! Yes, it really needs to be eating with soup to really appreciate its goodness.

I haven't tried this recipe exactly, but I was taught this dish using semolina flour. It's very delicious with any kind of African stew!

We just call this "gari" in Nigeria. You can also experiment and use different types of flour such as yam flour (my personal favorite) or even Farina. It's very sticky so I suggest serving with a small bowl of water to dip your fingers in before making the small ball.
