How it fits into a day
Kajmak, the clotted cream of the Balkans, is rarely eaten on its own: it goes on lepinja, with cevapi, on kachamak or proja. One tablespoon of about 30 g has about 105 kcal and 11 g fat, so it adds up fast when you spread it by eye.
A usual serving (1 tablespoon) is about 5% of a 2,000 kcal day. How much do you need a day? Work it out in the calorie calculator.
Lighter options
- My tip: measure kajmak with a spoon at least the first few times, to see how much you really use.
- Ajvar is a lighter topping for grilled meat: a tablespoon of ajvar has about 35 kcal.
