7 steps · 48 min total

1. 01

   Roast the Goat

   Roast the goat meat over medium heat for about 50 minutes, turning it occasionally. Season with salt each time you turn the meat.
2. 02

   Cook the Ugali Base

   Bring water and a pinch of salt to a boil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.

   Gradually stir in the corn flour, letting it fall slowly through your fingers into the boiling water.

3. 03

   Thicken the Ugali

   Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue stirring regularly. Use a spoon to smash any lumps as the mixture cooks, until it pulls away from the sides of the pot and becomes very thick, which should take about 10 minutes.

4. 04

   Cool the Ugali

   Remove the ugali from the heat and let it cool slightly.
5. 05

   Form and Serve Ugali

   Place the ugali into a large serving bowl. Wet your hands with water, then form the ugali into a ball before serving.
6. 06

   Make the Kachumbari

   In a separate bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes, onion, green chili, and coriander leaves.
7. 07

   Serve the Meal

   Serve the roasted goat alongside the ugali and kachumbari.
