Variations
There are different variations of this dish: some add nuts to kutia, others add dried fruit. The variations are endless — experiment with ingredients to create your own unique flavour.
Secrets of tenderness and taste
The secret to the best kutia lies in the precise balance between all the ingredients. Well-soaked poppy seeds add texture and aroma, while honey adds warmth.
Tips on ingredients
Choose your honey carefully: it is better to use natural, local honey. It should be thick. The calm but sensual taste of poppy seeds is best revealed after grinding.
Small culinary nuances
Before use, poppy seeds should be thoroughly washed and scalded with boiling water. This will prepare them for grinding and help avoid bitterness.
