Cachapas - Venezuela

V for Venezuela. Venezuela is one of the most urbanized countries in Latin America. The population is very diverse and the majority of the population is of a mixed heritage.

Coming to today's recipe, Cachapas, it is a traditional Venezuelan breakfast. It is a very popular street food as well. There are very many variations to it. But this version was closer to our palates and was also popular at home.

Ingredients - 

Corn Kernels (I used frozen corn and thawed) 2 cups
Corn Starch 1 Tbsp
Salt as needed
Milk 1/4 cup
Cheese 1/4 cup or more as needed
Butter / Cream Cheese as accompaniment

Method Of Preparation -


Blend the thawed corn along with cornstarch, salt and milk to make a coarse batter. It should be slightly thicker than pancake batter consistency.

Heat a griddle/tawa. Pour a ladle full batter and spread like an Uthappam.

Cook on a low flame until the underside is cooked.

Gently flip onto the other side and cook for a couple minutes.

Flip again and sprinkle cheese, fold and remove onto a serving plate.

Continue with the rest of the batter.

Serve these Cachapas warm with butter or cream cheese for a filling breakfast.
