Emasi with Phuthu

Instructions

1. 1 Bring water to a boil in a pot. Add salt and reduce heat to medium-low.
2. 2 Add maize meal all at once and immediately begin stirring with a wooden spoon or fork to create a crumbly texture.
3. 3 Unlike smooth porridge, phuthu should be dry and granular. Cook for fifteen minutes, breaking up any clumps constantly.
4. 4 The phuthu is ready when each grain is cooked through but the overall texture remains loose and crumbly like couscous.
5. 5 Spoon phuthu into bowls and pour generous amounts of cold sour milk over the top. Eat by mixing each spoonful together.
