Step 4
Cook the mamaliga for another 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Check the porridge for readiness: place a wooden spoon in the center of the porridge and quickly pull it out. If nothing sticks to the spoon, the mamaliga is almost ready. Reduce the heat to the minimum, cover the pot with a lid for a few minutes so the mamaliga can finish cooking.

Step 5
Run a spoon moistened with water along the sides of the pot, then turn the pot upside down onto a cutting board. Properly prepared mamaliga should retain the shape of the pot. You can cut the mamaliga with a waxed string or a wooden knife.
