Ingredients

1 cup Cassava flour
2 cups Water
0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium and gradually add the cassava flour while stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or a whisk to prevent lumps from forming.

Step 3

Continue to stir the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until it thickens into a smooth and dough-like consistency. The mixture should pull away from the sides of the pan and form a soft ball.

Step 4

If using salt, stir it in at this stage for added flavor (optional).

Step 5

Once fully cooked and thickened, remove the ugali from the heat and transfer it to a serving dish or plate.

Step 6

Shape the ugali into a rounded mound using a wooden spoon or spatula. Let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 7

Serve warm alongside your favorite Whole30-compliant protein and vegetables.
