📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Kulaga is an old traditional Belarusian sweet: forest berries like blueberries or viburnum are cooked down with rye flour or starch until thick. Malt was once added for natural sweetness. It's spread on bread or eaten straight with a spoon.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a home near a Belarusian forest, freshly picked blueberries cook down in a pot and a deep purple, thick dessert is spooned into bowls.
