How do I cook kutya for Christmas? Prepare the products. Which wheat to choose for kutya? Buy the peeled wheat. It is more convenient and more reliable to buy already processed wheat packaged in packages in the store. It is already steamed and ready to cook. Rinse the wheat 6-7 times. If the grain is not ground, soak it overnight in cold water, it will become softer and cook faster.

Steam the raisins, dry. Chop the nuts with a knife, fry in a dry pan (about 1-2 minutes), clean the husks by rubbing between the palms. Instead of walnuts, you can use almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts.

Transfer the washed grain to a thick-bottomed saucepan, fill with water (400ml), put on a medium heat, covering with a lid. When boiled, remove the foam. After 10 minutes, salt. Reduce the heat to minimal and continue cooking until cooked. The grains should be soft, crumbly. If the water has evaporated and the rump is not yet ready, top up with some hot water. If the porridge is ready and the liquid remains, wrap the pan tightly so that the wheat is steamed.

Rinse the poppy from dust and debris, roll back on a sieve, let the liquid drain. Transfer to a saucepan, cover with water (70ml), mix. Languish for half an hour over low heat. When the water in the poppy boils and it becomes thick, pour in another 50ml. Stir. Poppy should languish slowly, boil or gurgle should not be allowed. Now grind the finished poppy together with the sugar in a mortar, blender or scroll 2-3 times through a meat grinder. It should turn out "poppy milk. "

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl (wheat, poppy, raisins, nuts), add natural honey to taste. If desired, you can pour uzvar or boiled water. Serve the kutya warm.
