How to Make Kachamak
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cornmeal and cold water until smooth. Let it sit for 2 minutes to allow the cornmeal to fully hydrate.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and continue stirring continuously for 5 minutes. The mixture will begin to thicken.
- Stir in the salt, butter, paprika, and chili powder. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the Kachamak reaches your desired consistency. It should be creamy but not watery.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest for 1 minute to allow it to fully thicken slightly.
- Serve the Kachamak hot in bowls. Crumble the feta cheese generously over the top and enjoy immediately.
