Uphuthu namasi (dry pap with sour milk)

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

This recipe will always be my all-time summer favourite. It might seem strange for most people but growing up I used to look forward to warm nights so we could have amasi.

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups water
1 t salt
300 g maize meal
3 cups amasi, for serving
cream, for serving
sugar, for serving

Cooking Instructions

1. Bring the water to the boil in a saucepan. Add the salt and half the maize meal and reduce the heat to low.
2. Mix with the back of a wooden spoon, then gradually add the remaining maize meal until the mixture resembles crumbs. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
3. Cool and serve with amasi, a splash of cream and a tablespoon of sugar.
