Ugali with beef and sauce The traditional method of eating ugali is to roll a lump into a ball with the right hand, and then dip it into a sauce or stew of vegetables and/or meat. Making a depression with the thumb allows the ugali to be used to scoop, and to wrap around pieces of meat to pick them up in the same way that flat bread is used in other cultures. Ugali and sukuma wiki Ugali is relatively inexpensive and is thus easily accessible to the poor who usually combine it with a vegetable stew or meat stews and makes a filling meal.
