- 4 tbsp Fine ground cornmeal or cornflour
- 1.5 liters Water(or milk for a richer version)

Rinse the coarse cornmeal under running water to remove any impurities. Place it in a deep pot and add enough water to cover it completely.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and cook, stirring frequently, for about 20-25 minutes until it starts to thicken and become paste-like.
đĄ Proffstips: Constant stirring is important to prevent lumps and sticking. - 3
Gradually add the fine cornmeal (or cornflour) and butter, stirring vigorously and mashing to incorporate. Continue to cook on very low heat for another 5-7 minutes until the Ghomi has a thick, porridge-like consistency.
đĄ Proffstips: Mash well to ensure a smooth texture. - 4
While the Ghomi is still hot, spoon it onto serving plates. Immediately top with strips of Sulguni cheese and additional butter. The heat from the Ghomi will melt the cheese and butter.

- âUsing milk instead of water will result in a richer, creamier Ghomi.
- âThe quality of the cornmeal significantly impacts the final texture.
- âEnsure the cheese is added while the Ghomi is piping hot for optimal melting.
