Porejakaumasta

Porejakaumasta, also known as "poreja" or "kaumasta," is a traditional dish from the Philippines, particularly popular in the Visayas region. It is a type of pancake made from a batter of rice flour, coconut milk, and sometimes eggs. The batter is typically seasoned with salt and sometimes sugar or other flavorings like annatto or turmeric for color.

The preparation of porejakaumasta involves mixing the ingredients until a smooth batter is achieved. The batter is then poured onto a hot griddle or pan, where it is cooked until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. The pancake is then flipped and cooked on the other side until golden brown and cooked through.

Porejakaumasta is often served as a breakfast dish, accompanied by various toppings such as butter, cheese, or sweet toppings like sugar and condensed milk. It can also be served as a snack or a light meal. The dish is known for its simplicity and versatility, making it a popular choice for both traditional and modern Filipino cuisine.
