About Cicvara

Mojkovac’s tourism organisation describes cicvara as a traditional Montenegrin mountain dish. Its qualitative recipe combines kajmak with flour, usually maize flour; this profile follows that explicitly named maize choice.

Kajmak supplies the rich dairy character, with maize giving the dish its mild grain flavour. The source places it alongside other substantial foods of the mountain table and mentions sour milk as a complementary accompaniment.

The mixture becomes uniform and releases from the spoon and vessel. It is presented as a cohesive dish, with optional homemade sour milk alongside.
