Begin by making the Umphokoqo (crumbly maize meal porridge). In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
Gradually add 2 cups of white maize meal to the boiling water, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Reduce the heat to low and allow the maize meal to simmer. Cover the pot with a lid and let it cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mixture is thick and crumbly. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.
For the chicken stew, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the pan and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Place the chicken pieces in the pan and brown them on all sides.
Once the chicken is browned, add the chopped tomatoes and 1 teaspoon of paprika. Stir well to combine.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste, then cover the pan with a lid. Let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Serve the warm Umphokoqo on a plate or in a bowl, topped with the hearty chicken stew. Enjoy your traditional South African meal!
