After having tasted the amazing proja for breakfast in
Belgrade that Ashwita cooked for us, I was determined to make it at home. It
can be prepared with ordinary corn flour, but since I had brought with me the
corn flour that remained in Belgrade, I used it up for my first attempt. I had
to do some modification to the basic recipe as the cheese used in the recipe is
not available in Belgaum. Instead I used milk cream and there was no compromise
in the taste!
Ingredients:
100 gms corn flour
1 cup water
2 cups milk
1 cup milk cream
A pinch of salt
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp chia seeds
Instruction:
-
Add the water, milk and milk cream to the corn
flour and mix thoroughly, without any lumps.
-
Keep on medium flame and keep stirring, for
about 15 minutes ( add salt in between, when it starts thickening) till it
becomes quite thick and starts separating from the sides
-
Pat it down onto a shallow container and allow
to cool.
- Cut it into pieces.
-
Heat the butter, add chia seeds. Toss in the
proja, stir and let the pieces be coated well with the chia
seeds.
-
Serve hot.
