Add the rest of the flour and cover again for 5 minutes. Take the pan of the heat and add the chopped coriander and the sea salt until the ugali is evenly speckled. Put the mixture in a bowl and let it cool, until you can mold balls with it.
Fold the balls and dip them in the beaten egg or egg replacement and roll it in the breadcrumbs. Then drop them carefully in the heated oil or in the fryer until they are golden brown. Serve with broccoli, hummus and some bread or naan bread.
