Welcome, everyone. We are here in Vép, Hungary, for an international Yoga in Daily Life seminar. Today, we will prepare a very simple, old, traditional food called prosa—Hungarian prosa. It is a simple dish you can make within an hour using very basic ingredients. Let's look at the ingredients we need: Yogurt: three boxes, approximately one and a half liters. Flour: one cup of white flour and one cup of brown wheat flour, approximately half a liter in total. First, we mix them together. I start by putting in the brown flour. We can mix it for about five minutes. The longest part is the baking, which takes about 40 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. This food, called prosa, was traditionally a simple farmer's food in the villages. I grew up in the Somogy area in southwest Hungary, so this is a simple sweet food from my region. If the yogurt is too thin, add a bit more flour. If it is too thick, use less. It depends on the specific yogurt and flour you buy, so you can adjust the consistency to your preference. Next, take two tablespoons of olive oil and spread it on a baking pan. Then, simply pour the batter onto the pan. It is very important that the layer is no thicker than one centimeter; it should be between half a centimeter and one centimeter thick. If you have a small pan, you may need to bake two batches. I mentioned this is a sweet dish, but we haven't added any sweet ingredients yet. If you do not like sugar, you can skip it. Otherwise, you can use a maximum of two tablespoons of either white or brown sugar. I am using brown sugar. I sprinkle it on the surface rather than mixing it into the batter because sugar mixed in burns much more easily. Another ingredient is plum jam, a real Hungarian thick and healthy jam without other additives. We use about one tablespoon, placing small amounts here and there. This plum jam contains a lot of iron and is very delicious. You can use other jams, but plum is the best. We use about one hundred milliliters. Now, the food is ready to bake. This is the part that takes the longest. We put it in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius and bake it for about half an hour to 40 minutes, depending on your oven. It is done when it turns a bit brownish. By mistake, I baked one pan of prasāda earlier, so I can show you the finished result. You can see how it looks when properly baked. This is the prasāda. You can cut it up and serve it to everyone—children and adults alike. They will love it very much. Thank you very much. Enjoy your meal, and please try making this prasāda. It is very simple. This is one of the simplest sweet foods from around the world.
