Ingredients:

300g white cornmeal (miele meal)
250ml milk

Method:

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.
