This is exactly what I had been looking for the past several days. I have been trying to make ugali following recipes that I found on the internet, and I think I have figured out what I had done wrong before. For those who are not familiar with it, it appears that that wooden spoon is a very important tool. They don't make plastic or metal spoons strong enough for this. My one question at this point is whether it is at all sticky when you do it right.
