Female Dog

In Hindi, Kutia literally translates as a 'bitch'.

Milk or cream

When would milk or cream be used? My understanding is that kutia is usually made only for Christmas Eve, which is a fast day, prohibiting the use of dairy. —Michael Z. 2006-01-11 22:11 Z

In the Roman Catholic interpretation a fast day or day of abstinence means no eating of meat is allowed. Fish and dairy are allowed. This is different from Orthodox, where AFAIK, it means something like vegan restrictions. So, to answer you question partly, there would be no reason for restricting dairy content in kutia. Plenty of other traditional Christmas Eve dishes in Polish cusine contain dairy and fish. See the rather good article on Wigilia. Vowofsilence 00:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also see this recipe for the first time. Newer heard of using milk or cream in Ukraine. Poppy seed become "milky" after you crush them. Romanians use kutya (koliva) for funeral meal.--Bryndza 03:42, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching my makitra/makohon gaffe. That's what happens when I write without reading.

The recipe should probably be reformulated into a simple description; Wikipedia isn't supposed to have how-tos. —Michael Z. 2006-01-12 16:48 Z

General recipe

This should be moved to Wikipedia:Cookbook. `'mikka 04:58, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Take 0.5 kg each of wheat and poppy seeds, or slightly more wheat.

The wheat grains should be simmered in hot water on low heat for 3-4 hours.

The poppy seeds should be simmered in hot water until they can be crushed between the fingertips. Then they should be ground three times in a food processor or a meat grinder. Traditionally, the poppy seeds were crushed in a mortar and pestle made specifically for this purpose (makitra and makohon, respectively).

Strain out the water from the poppy seeds and from the wheat and allow them to cool.

Mix the cooled poppy seeds and wheat, then add some liquid honey (you may need to add a little hot water to dissolve it) or dissolved sugar (0.1-0.2 kg by our sample measures) and some or all of: nuts, raisins, almonds, pieces of oranges (amount of these extra ingredients vary a lot between recipes, suggested is 0.3-0.5 kg total).

Relationship to kolyvo

According to the Ukrianian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, kolyvo is "a dish of wheat cooked with honey" eaten at furnerals.[1] Sounds exactly like kutia and koliva. Is there really any difference? --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 00:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuanian equivalent

It is worth mentioning that in Lithuania, a traditional dish kūčia is being served at the dinner table on Christmas Eve. https://lt.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%AB%C4%8Dia 79.132.162.163 (talk) 10:55, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
