Casserole starch is an important ingredient that is an interchangeable product of semolina and flour in a dish. Its task is to absorb excess liquid and bind the dough; so the casserole will be dense, but soft and will not crumble when removed. To make the casserole less calorie, do not use low-fat cottage cheese - so the dish will not be quite mouth-watering. It is better to replace sugar with stevia, and take corn starch - it is absorbed by the body longer.
