Usage notes
[edit]- First roast the corn flour. After it turns pink, add molasses, a little sugar and a little water and stir constantly. When the mixture is well combined and forms a paste, sprinkle a little corn flour or wheat flour into it and form a hard slurry. When you are sure that it is cooked, do not let it cool down, squeeze it in the palm of your hand, form it into balls (ბულთი (bulti)), place them on a tray and eat them after they have cooled down. When it cools, it has the consistency of cornbread. The appearance is the color of molasses, and since sugar is added sparingly, the taste has the sourness and smell of molasses.
