Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make pelamushi Georgian dessert? Prepare your food. Take juice from red grape varieties. It can be either purchased or prepared independently. Try the juice before cooking — if it is not too sweet, you can use sugar in the dessert. Both corn and wheat flour are suitable. You can also take a mixture of them.

Step 2

Step 2
Take a saucepan or saucepan with a thick bottom. This is important so that the dessert does not burn during cooking. Read about the intricacies of choosing cookware for cooking at the end of the recipe. Pour all the flour into it. Then arm yourself with a whisk and, with constant stirring, pour the juice into the flour in portions. Not all at once, but in parts — then you will avoid the formation of lumps.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the saucepan with the juice on low heat. And again, with constant stirring, cook the juice-flour mixture until thickened. It is important to stir it all the time, as the flour thickens and can quickly burn. Stirring and a thick bottom will prevent this. As soon as large bubbles appear on the surface, turn off the heat. The mass will look like a very thick jelly.

Step 4

Step 4
Use suitable serving pans. Pour the still hot pelamushi over them. Leave the dessert to cool on the counter to room temperature, and then transfer it to the refrigerator until completely stabilized.

Step 5

Step 5
You can serve pelamushi either in the molds in which they were prepared or by turning them over onto a plate. When serving, sprinkle the dessert with nuts, walnuts or hazelnuts. Bon appetit!
