Directions:
- Heat a cup of water to boiling in a medium-sized saucepan.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl gradually add 3/4 cup of the cornmeal to the milk, stirring briskly to make a smooth paste.
- Add this mixture to the boiling water, stirring constantly.
- Cook for 4 or 5 minutes while adding the remaining cornmeal.
- When mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the pot and stick together, remove from heat.
- Dump oshifima into a lightly greased bowl.
- With damp hands, shape it into a smooth ball, turning in the bowl to help smooth it.
- Serve immediately.
- To eat in the traditional manner, tear off a piece of oshifima and make an indentation in it with your thumb. Use this hollow to scoop up stew or sauce from a communal bowl.
