Christmas Rice Kutia
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Kutyu can be prepared in several ways. This one, for example, is perfect for those who don't like raisins or simply want to experiment. My grandmother used to make kutyu only with rice, so its taste is very dear and familiar to me. I add canned cherries to the kutyu for sweetness. Serve chilled.
