Proja (Cyrillic: Проја, ) is a dish made of corn flour, baking powder, sunflower oil, sparkling water and salt. As one of Serbia's national dishes, an alternative name for proja (Проја) is also projara (Пројара). Proha, prova or razljevak are alternative names used in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a type of cornbread and is usually eaten with honey, milk or jam.
It has been popular in times of widespread poverty, mostly before the 1950s, and remains a common everyday meal. It is often mistaken with projara, a somewhat fancier variant of proja, which includes the additional ingredients flour, eggs and yogurt.
