A bowl of kama in preparation (before mixing)

Kama (from Estonian) is a dish from the Baltic region, most commonly eaten in Estonia and Finland (where it is called talkkuna), based on milled cereals and legumes, traditionally prepared and eaten uncooked as fast food by combining the fine flour mixture with just cow milk or buttermilk. The main ingredient of kama is the "kama flour" (kamajahu) which nowadays typically contains a mixture of roasted barley, rye, oat and pea flour.
