Simmer for 6–7 hours?

I think it means boil oxtail in water for 6-7 hours. Oxtail takes time to break down and braising / slow boiling like this helps.

An alternative would be to use a pressure cooker or Insta-pot to bring the cooking time down to 2-3 hours.
I wonder what ugali is? An explanation here would have been nice.

Ugali is an African cornmeal dish...here in the US simular to polenta which can be found on the pasta aisle at local grocery stores. Substitutes as a potato or a rice in the good pyramid.
