Uji, also known as the Kenyan Fermented Porridge, is the ultimate comfort breakfast food which is packed with probiotics. It is made of dried maize, millet and/or sorghum that is made wet with water and left to ferment for a few days before cooking.
Mix well the corn meal and millet flour with a 1/4 cup of water. Cover and leave to rest at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. This will ferment the mixture.
Bring 1 1/2 cup of water (more or less check consistency) to a boil, add the mixture and lower heat to a simmer. Stirring continuously, cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Add more water as needed. Add sweetener to taste, like honey. Serve into 2 bowls and top with nuts of fruits if desired. 2 servings.
Notes
You can skip the fermentation process by adding 3 cups of water and cooking the mixture longer, about 10-15 minutes on a simmer.
