About Kama
The Estonian Institute describes kama as a familiar summer food once taken along during haymaking. Its recipe mixes the roasted cereal-and-legume flour with curdled milk, the dairy option selected for this profile.
The flour contributes a roasted grain character to the tangy milk. Sugar is the chosen sweetener, while fresh wild berries remain an optional addition from the published recipe rather than a mandatory fruit component.
Kama is a simple mixed preparation, with no cooking of the assembled dish prescribed. This version follows the institute’s classic cultured-milk account, keeping later strawberry-blender drinks and whipped-cream desserts separate.
