- The semolina must be soaked before cooking the manna; otherwise it will crunch on the teeth and ruin the taste of the finished cake. To soak the grits, pour kefir for 30-60 minutes. If kefir is cold, more time is needed, if warm - less. If you have planned cooking mannica for breakfast, semolina can pour kefir in the evening and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
