POST PROJA: With small tricks, it will be tastier than fatty
Lean proja can often turn out dry and hard, even when you follow the recipe word for word. Fortunately, with these simple tips, every bite will be soft and juicy, even without eggs and dairy products.
TL;DR
- Use a combination of cornmeal and wheat flour, or mix coarse and fine cornmeal for a better texture.
- Add liquid gradually until the batter reaches the consistency of thick pancake mix.
- Incorporate a small amount of oil to keep the proja moist and prevent a dry crust.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180-200°C, covering with foil for the first 15 minutes to retain moisture.
- Add grated carrots or zucchini for extra juiciness and seasonings or seeds for flavor.
