cornmeal

Dried corn ground fine to medium, yellow or white, not to be confused with cornstarch.

Cornmeal is ground dried corn with a mild, slightly sweet grain flavour. In the US it is in every supermarket; elsewhere look in Turkish or Caribbean grocers, health-food shops, well-stocked supermarkets or online. Cornstarch, called cornflour in Britain, is a different product and will not work in its place.

Substitute:

Fine polenta can stand in but gives a grittier, less cohesive result; grinding it finer in a blender brings it closer.
