A classic Estonian dish, it is prepared with a combination of toasted and finely ground flours, usually oat, rye, barley, and pea. The mixture is then blended with dairy products such as buttermilk, kefir, or sour milk to create a creamy, porridge-like dish. Alternatively, a thinner version is made, usually enjoyed as a beverage.
Kama is usually served as a nutritious breakfast or dessert. It is often sweetened and supplemented with fruit.
