Corn cheesecake


Corn cheesecake is a gluten–free dish  containing corn meal and polenta. 
Puliszka,  its common name, is a traditional and very healthy dish for the local Szekely folks. Corn has great detoxification effect and helps  in the healthy function of liver. 
Lenke who lives in Zetevaralja has taught me the traditional method of making puliszka.
They boil the water in a special dish used for this food only on the stove.
Add pinch of salt and the mixture of the corn meal and polenta to the boiling water. The ratio of the water and the corn mixture is 2:1.
Stir it continuously scraping the corn from the side of the dish.
The cooking time is approximately 15-20 minutes.
When it is cooked  transfer it into a buttered pie dish. Cut feta cheese on the top and place it into the 190 0C preheated oven for 5 minutes. Serve it with  Greek yogurt on the top.
