Obungi bwa kalo is made as above using about 4 cups of banana juice instead of water and sour milk is not added. Usually millet flour is used. Obushera is a thin porridge made from germinated grain. Porridge is frequently seasoned by adding a generous amount of sugar, orange or lemon juice, mashed banana, sesame paste, or milk. Edi is a nonfermented version of obushera .
Stiff porridge is made in the same way as thin porridge but a greater proportion of meal is used.
The same comments about the flour used for thin porridge apply here. In some countries a finely milled flour is used, and in others coarsely milled flour or a combination of course and fine flour is preferred. As is the case with thin porridge, stiff porridge may be made from other flour combinations. Let the thin porridge boil for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot with meat, green vegetables, or stew for lunch or supper.
