Namibian Stiff Poridge - Oshifima

Ingredients:

300 g white cornmeal

250 ml milk

Cooking Instructions:

Heat 250ml water to boiling point in a saucepan. Meanwhile add half the cornmeal to the milk and stirring briskly form a smooth paste. Add this mixture to the boiling water, stirring constantly. Cook for 5 minutes, whilst adding the remaining cornmeal and when the mixture begins to thicken and pull away from the sides of the pot take away from the heat. Dump the oshifima into a greased bowl and with damp hands form in to a smooth ball. To eat tear off a piece of the oshifima and make an indentation in it with your thumb. Use this hollow to scoop-up stew or sauce from a communal bowl.
