Umqa Recipe

Umqa (pumpkin and grinding corn)

Ingredients

• Pumpkin (2 kg)
• Salt and sugar to taste
• Cooked grinding corn (use whole kernel corn that has been cooked and out of the cob)
• Water

Method

Peel the pumpkin and then dice it once you are through.

On medium heat, place a saucepan and add the diced pumpkin, water, and salt to taste. You can also add sugar if you desire so.

Cook until you are sure that the pumpkin is soft.

Once you have done that, add the dried corn and stir everything together. Then, simmer for the next 15 minutes.

After all has been done, remove from heat and allow to cool. Then, your meal is ready to be enjoyed.
