1 Bring 1.5 litres water, the salt and coconut milk to the boil. Mix 1 cup cold water with

the maize meal to make a paste – this prevents lumps from forming while cooking. 2 Add the maize meal mixture to the boiling water, whisking continually. Alternate with a wooden spoon to make sure you reach the edges of the saucepan. 3 Bring to a boil, then simmer for 25–30 minutes, half covered, stirring occasionally until thickened and cooked. It should be a pouring consistency. 4 Remove from the heat and pour into bowls. Top with the coconut oil, peanut butter, coconut flakes, pumpkin seeds and honey. Serve immediately.
