Sümölök is for women with strong arms

22 March 2015 · Holidays

Nauryz. On the night before, the women in our street stir a sweet wheat paste all night, in turns, one hour each, each with her own story. I have done it thirty times. I have also forgotten my hour twice, and slept in a chair, and my sister stirred for me, and I owe her two nights now.

Zarina of Iradi Food Home here on Kündölük explained it better than I do, search her blog for Sümölök. I only add: my cauldron is bigger. Her stones are small. We put walnuts.
