To prepare kutya, prepared, pre-cleaned wheat is used. It can be bought before the holidays at markets or in stores.

After that, drain the water and pour the wheat with cold water in the ratio of 1:2.5, that is, 0.5 liters of wheat pour 1.25 liters of water. Put the wheat on the fire and bring it to a boil. Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low so that there is not a rapid boil and the wheat languishes. Cook the wheat for 40-60 minutes. It should become soft, but not cooked.
