Method (preview)

1. 1

   Bring the water to the boil.

2. 2

   Slowly add the maize meal until it forms a pyramid in the middle of the saucepan.

3. 3

   Put on the lid and allow to simmer until a "skin" has formed around the maize meal.

4. 4

   Stir with a fork till fine and crumbly.

5. 5

   Put the lid back on and simmer over LOW heat until done.

6. 6

   Stir once or twice to break the lumps. (It takes about 30 - 40 minutes, but I'm not sure how long it will take over there.)

7. 7

   Saute onions and tomatoes till tender and add the remaining ingredients.

8. 8

   Cook for about 2 minutes and thicken with cornflour mixed to a soft paste with cold water.
