To start, let's prepare polenta. To do this, mix the milk with water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add a little salt to the mixture. Then carefully add corn flour or grits. Stir so that there are no lumps left, and cook over low heat for about 10-15 minutes. Polenta should turn out thick and viscous.
Pour the cooked polenta into a plate and leave to cool.
Let's cut the chilled polenta into triangular, thin pieces.
Pour wheat flour into a separate plate and add salt and pepper. We roll pieces of porridge in it from all sides.
Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the polenta on both sides until it is covered with a golden crust. If desired, you can put fried polenta on paper napkins to get rid of excess oil. Well, that's it, the fried polenta is ready. It is best to use it hot.
