his energy in this video is so chaotic i love it thank you for teaching me how to make mamaliga 😂

[@WaXeN]

You’re welcome 😊 That's the kind of content I usually do both here and on my new channel! Hope you'll check out some of my other crazy videos!

[@breannaobryan1120]

You're funny. I am not romanian but i ate it at a romanian restaurant in New York with sour cream and crumbs of feta cheese. Since them i cooked it several times and figured out some tricks. The ratio is pretty much 1:2. One cup malai to 2 cups water. Make sure you bring the water and salt to a boil first. Once it starts boiling stir in the malai and stir with the "tel" i actually use a simple wooden spoon until it turns kind of like a pudding. Lower the heat and stir often. You know when its done Because it comes off the sides. By the way not just any cornmeal off the shelf works. I buy mine from the global market in my town and it is an arab version but tastes the same. Off i go, but 1st i need to buy sour cream because now i want some darn mamaliga.

Thank you! I am a Polish and i tried for the first time.Your video: helped a lot.Actually - it is very tasty.Thank you sir for publishing video tutorial,how to cook Polenta.

[@MsValiG]

aaand, when it's cold, the next day, cut leftovers in bite size pieces, stirfry them with bit of oil, garlic powder and pepper, when roasted nicely sprinkle with grated cheese, and if you want you can stirfry a couple of eggs towards the end. Tada! new recipe with leftovers, goes for breakfast or as a side dish

[@brandillysmom]

Great recipe and I like the video! In the Southern United States, it’s made with white corn hominy and adding cheese, it’s called cheesey grits.... Yum

Yummy! My maternal grandmother would make it for me. Once it was thick she would put spoonfuls in a pan with brown butter. Then served with feta cheese on top. I miss it.

So tel is wisk in Romanian! I’m excited to finish this video and my own dish here!☺️

[@doinacampean9132]

Google translate is wrong, hominy is corn that has been treated with an alkali in a process called nixtamalization with the pericarp removed. :) You just need corn meal. Your stove top is the hero of this video, but if you want less mess, you could get 2 cups of cornmeal in 4 cups of water and set in the microwave for 15 minutes :) It will depend, of course, of your microwave power, so expect to fail a few times before you get it right :) Sharing and subscribing! :)

[@nataliavtt7936]

Its also called corn meall guys u can find this nearly everywhere

[@fueyou]

Actually, there's a difference in how course/fine each is ground.

[@catalincatalin7644]

Yes? Because, in UK, on the bag is polenta.

[@Flyinggg_soulfulll]

You’re actually pretty funny😂😂. I was adopted from Romania and didn’t grow up learning the dishes . I’m venturing on my own to learn these things. Where can you buy these certain Romanian ingredients. Are they just at any store, or do I have to go somewhere specific. I’m living in the United States

[@Ahavabnachenu]

You look like a pretty cool dish youself .any store that the proprietor has a mustache

[@WaXeN]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I have other videos that you might find funny, I also have cooked a different Romanian recipe! Well, most of them for mamaliga should be at any store that sells cereals.

[@MsValiG]

I get romanian groceries and such from Russian stores

[@mariatiron2793]

It is basically corn flour but not a fine one so i think you cand find it anywhere

[@bluemoondiadochi]

it's roughly ground maize. ;) anyways, for some romanian cuisine, google "tast show - mangalita si bivolite"

[@robertmacfarlane8176]

Brilliant, I love it.

I wanted to find a recipe for this because I'm going to surprise my friend from Moldova because he is homesick. I love the video and the recipe!

Esti tare amuzant dar am reusit sa fac mamaliga dupa instructiunile tale ,iti multumesc enorm an gatit cu drag 😂🖐

[@handiinu2.077]

Malai is basicly grinded corn Just so it is easyer for the viewers to make this

[@mariatiron2793]

Corn flour

[@doinacampean9132]

@@mariatiron2793 - not flour - it's too fine a grind and it's not the same - I tried (and failed). You need the course grind - corn meal.

[@sonasona1981]

Thanks a lot😊

[@Bounty_Hunter.]

Corn cake was delicious 😋

[@mancosmin4175]

i`m from romania and if you cook the ,, mamaliga ,, and when is cold you need to put chesse . Combine the cheese whit the ,, mamaliga ,, and after put some sugar on every bite ! Its very delicious

[@trompetarege5541]

Și eu sunt din România

[@419ariel47]

Mamaliga cheese and sugar????🤮FETA cheese is the preferred choice. Or Fresh farmer cheese with sour cream. Neither one works with sugar. In my all( pretty long ) Romanian life NEVER HEARD of such a combination. You can add milk in the pot you made the polenta after emptying the polenta. Hot milk and more smashed polenta many add some Salt will be a great morning breakfast. Also left over polenta can be made in slices grilled in a bit of butter add on a slice of feta cheese. Eat it Breakfast or next day lunch. A sweet version out of MALAI is called “ MALAI” a sort of corn bread. That’s done with sugar , yogurt and /or latte batut/ and it’s baked. It’s a great treat. Back home Kids were eating it as a cake

we eat it in hungary too, it's called puliszka (it's a little softer than what's in the video though). it's best with sour cream, quark and fried bacon (y) my grandmother (who's half romanian) eats it with milk and sugar or honey, but i think that's strange.

[@TheSpiritedFendron]

It is strange, as a Romanian I've never seen someone eating it like that :D

[@hiphopunike14]

In America we call that grits, at least if you use hominy. If you use corn meal (which is not nixtamalized) then you would call it polenta.

[@whatscookinginmykitchen5859]

That is correct. Polenta is corn meal not hominy

I'm half Romanian, half Hungarian-- I used to make puliszka all the time instead of potatoes for side dishes. I will have to look for malai; I always used yellow corn meal.

Mulțumesc pentru acest videoclip. Isus se întoarce, te rog. Tratează pe toți cu respect, dăruiește-i săracilor, vizitează bolnavii, deținuții, văduvele și orfanii pentru a-i încuraja, Dumnezeu este încă în afacerea de vindecare, nu plătește pentru binecuvântarea sa. Binecuvântările vin noi în fiecare dimineață ... evită orice activitate sau vorbire malefică. Vom fi trași la răspundere pentru fiecare cuvânt inactiv pe care l-am spus, deci spuneți puțin sau nimic și să ne pocăim pentru ceea ce ați spus sau făcut, care ar fi considerat rău în fața lui Dumnezeu. Amintește-ți calea îngustă, așa că întreabă-l pe Dumnezeu ce ar fi nevoie pentru tine să o faci? Atunci fă ce spune. Te iubesc și mă rog și pentru mine să o fac. Dumnezeu să vă binecuvânteze.

If u cook it less its more soft and if u cook it longer it hardens i prefer it more soft with cheese or with fried chicken but depends on ur taste its the same but they probably had one of those pots that are actually made for it so yeH

Neither to be honest i think salty though because you have to put some salt in the water before you add the cornmeal
