    I had the luck of tasting a very good Kasha when a friend of mine visited me and he cooked for me, however I don?t know the ingredients of it, maybe it could be similar to the buckwheat kasha because it was very simple but delicious! I do not if I can prepare this, since I suck at cooking but maybe someday?

    Oooh how exciting! I’ve never heard of Kasha before! I just love trying new ethnic cooking. so far Indian food has been my favorite, and we’ve started cooking a lot of curries and we’ve even attempted naan before (although this is super difficult without the stone oven). We have a Russian dumpling stand here in town, and that’s the only “Russian” cuisine I’ve ever tried!
