Ingredients:

1 cup sorghum meal (can substitute with maize meal)

4 cups water
Salt (to taste)

Method:

Peel and cut lerotse melon into small cubes.
Boil water in a pot and add the melon cubes, cooking until soft.
Stir in sorghum meal slowly while whisking to prevent lumps.

Add salt to taste and serve with meat or milk.
