Start by boiling the water in a large pot.
Once the water is boiling, slowly start adding the cornmeal. Make sure to stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
After all the cornmeal has been added, reduce the heat to low. Continue stirring the mixture. It will start to thicken after about 15-20 minutes.
Once the nshima has thickened to a dough-like consistency, it is ready to serve. You can serve it with a side of vegetables, meat, or fish.
