Homemade classic millet kulesh

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook a homemade classic millet cake? Very simple! First, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can cook kulesh on water or meat broth. When using broth, the dish will turn out with a more pronounced taste.

2. Step 2:

   

   Boil meat broth or water in a saucepan over medium heat. You can vary the thickness of the kulesh by using more or less broth.

3. Step 3:

   

   While the broth is boiling, prepare the remaining ingredients. Rinse the millet to clear water.

4. Step 4:

   

   Wash the potatoes, peel and cut into medium cubes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cut the smoked brisket into thin strips. Instead of brisket, you can take lard. In this case, the kulesh will turn out to be fatter.

6. Step 6:

   

   Peel and grate the carrots on a coarse grater.

7. Step 7:

   

   Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. If you or your children do not like onions, you can either add it at all or add a whole onion at the stage of cooking potatoes and then throw it away.

   Wash the dill, shake off the moisture and chop finely. If desired, you can replace or supplement with other herbs, for example, parsley, cilantro, green onions or use a mixture of different herbs.

    Put the potatoes in the boiling broth. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes.

    Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Lay out the onion and fry until transparent.

13. Step 12:

    

    Add carrots and brisket. Stir-fry for another 5 minutes. If you use lard instead of brisket, first fry it to the state of fried bacon. And then add carrots and onions.

    Transfer the roast to a saucepan. Add bay leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the millet and potatoes are ready.
