How Ronawi Hotel Prepares the Perfect Ugali
At Ronawi Hotel, we believe that the magic of a good Ugali starts from the ground up — literally! Here’s a peek into our daily kitchen rituals:
Step 1: Sourcing Quality Flour
We partner with trusted local millers who grind fresh maize, millet, and sorghum. No preservatives. No chemicals. Just pure, wholesome flour.
Step 2: Perfect Water-to-Flour Ratio
Ugali preparation is an art. Too much water and it’s porridge; too little and it’s crumbly. Our chefs know exactly how to balance the flour and water for a soft, cohesive dough.
Step 3: Masterful Stirring
Ugali requires strong arms and patience. Our chefs stir vigorously to remove lumps and achieve that smooth, velvety texture.
Step 4: Steaming
Once formed, Ugali is steamed gently under cover to complete the cooking. This step ensures it’s moist yet firm.
Step 5: Presentation
We mold Ugali into neat domes and plate it piping hot, alongside perfectly cooked sides.
At Ronawi, every plate of Ugali tells a story of care, tradition, and respect for the craft.

Bungoma’s Food Traditions: The Role of Ugali
In Bungoma, Ugali isn’t just served at home — it’s central to:

During weddings, circumcision ceremonies, and family gatherings, Ugali is always the star of the feast. It symbolizes unity and the strength of family bonds.
2. Harvest Festivals
At harvest time, families gather to thank God for the bounty. Ugali made from freshly milled maize is a treasured part of the celebration.
3. Daily Life
From breakfast (yes, some prefer leftover Ugali fried crisp in the morning!) to hearty dinners, Ugali fits into every part of life.
4. Storytelling Around the Fire
In rural areas, evenings are spent around the fire telling stories, sipping tea, and nibbling on leftover Ugali or fresh millet cakes.
