Recipe Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180º C. Grease a 18 -20 cm square oven dish.
2. Cook a moist but firm phutu-pap by gradually pouring the maize meal onto the simmering salted stock, stirring thoroughly, then cooking covered over low heat for approximately 10 minutes to obtain a mixture resembling firm mashed potato.
3. Stir in the onion and baking powder. Set aside to cool sufficiently to handle comfortably.
4. Shape the warm mixture into 16 dumplings and arrange them in rows, close to each other.
5. Combine the cottage cheese and cream well, and pour the mixture over and around the dumplings. Grind black pepper over.
6. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 35 - 40 minutes until golden brown.
7. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley or dhania and serve.
