Kutia memorial with rice raisins for the wake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook a memorial kutia? Prepare the products. Take the rice that you like best and that you know how to cook so that it remains crumbly, take the raisins without seeds (light raisins look more appetizing).

2. Step 2:

   

   Rice needs to be washed well with water in several waters, it is better to use warm water for this (I met this layhfak from an Uzbek cook who cooked pilaf - rice washed in warm water and filled with warm water until it is used, does not crumble and turns crumbly after cooking).

3. Step 3:

   

   Rinse the round rice well in warm water, you can hold it in it a little - then it will cook faster and more evenly.

4. Step 4:

   

   Fill the rice with water and cook until tender, it is important not to forget about the proportions of cooking cereals - 1 cup of rice requires 2 cups of water. After boiling, cook over low heat so that the rice is cooked evenly. You can use a microwave oven for cooking - we cook in it without a lid at maximum power for 10 minutes (I have an 800 kW microwave), then add salt to taste and bring it to readiness at medium power, if necessary, add water.

5. Step 5:

   

   The light raisins taken for the recipe also need to be washed well, for this it is better to take hot water, because dried fruits have an oily plunger that covers them for better storage. And hot water will wash it off better, then pour boiling water over the raisins and let it swell, and then drain the water with a sieve and blot with a paper towel.

6. Step 6:

   

   Put butter in the pan.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add sugar and prepared raisins. We bring the mass to a light boil - the sugar dissolves in the oil and a caramel mass is obtained, which covers the steamed raisins.

9. Step 8:

   

   The caramelized raisins are ready, we will fill our kutya with them. Keep in mind that such raisins are very sweet, and the additional addition of caramel makes the whole mass even sweeter, so adjust the taste of kutia with the amount of added raisins.

10. Step 9:

    

    The rice is cooked, it should be crumbly and not watery.

11. Step 10:

    

    Fill the kutya with caramelized raisins and mix.

12. Step 11:

    

    It is customary to serve rice with raisins on the memorial table in small deep bowls, placing them evenly around the table along with honey and pancakes.
