Kutia & Tara

Kutia or kutya is a ceremonial grain dish with sweet gravy traditionally served predominantly in Belarusian and Ukrainian cuisine, but also in parts of Lithuania, Poland, and Russia. It is consumed by both Eastern Orthodox Christians and Catholics, though whether it is served on Christmas–Feast of Jordan holiday season or as part of a funeral feast can vary between regions. The word with a descriptor is also used to describe the eves of Christmas, New Year, and Feast of Jordan days.
