Cooking funeral kuti from rice is a traditional occupation, usually dedicated to the most mournful events. To cook such a dish, we will need the following ingredients:
- Fig. You can take absolutely any grade. For example, take Krasnodar. This is one of the varieties common in Russia. If you are a fan of healthy eating, you can also take unpolished rice, which is more healthy. It takes about 0.5 kg.
- Raisins. Anyone, in principle, will do the same, but we take black. Somewhere around 100 grams will be enough. If you buy it by weight in the market, you can try several varieties and take the one that you like best. By the way, this is much tastier than in bags.
- If you want, you can buy some more dried apricots, but the usual recipe for kutya from rice and raisins does not require it. Adding dried apricots will bring a bright color and unique taste to the dish. However, do not get carried away, she should not clog the taste of raisins and honey.
- Honey. Instead, sugar can be added to kutya, but honey is much healthier and brings its own unique aroma. It is advisable to buy it in trusted places to be sure of its naturalness. You need to take only 2-3 tablespoons of honey. If you add more, it will be too cloying.

Comment
There is one subtlety. Honey is added when the dish cools down a bit, because otherwise it will lose all its beneficial properties. If it seems dry to you, you can always add a little boiled warm water to dilute to the desired consistency. Well and in the last place add dried apricots which are previously washed in hot water and cut into small pieces. It turns out a kind of "smart" kutya. The recipe from rice, of course, is not so traditional, but no one will forbid to bring something of their own.

There are several more ways to cook this dish.
Interesting recipe
