Boil the water and salt in a wide pot.
Add the cornmeal in a thin stream, stirring constantly.
Cook the mamalika over low heat for 32 minutes, until it becomes a thick porridge.
Grate the potatoes, fry them in vegetable oil for 8 minutes, and spread them on the serving plate.
Heat the preserved meat in a small pan for 4 minutes and place it over the potatoes.
Pour the cornmeal mamalika over the potatoes and preserved meat, then sprinkle with hard cheese.
Foam the butter with ground red pepper for 45 seconds and drizzle it over the mamalika.
💡 Tip: Do not pour the cornmeal into boiling water all at once; streaming it in while stirring creates the smooth spoonable texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mamalika hot with optional pickles and ayran.
