"after cuddling for 30 minutes under this warm and fuzzy blanket" now THAT'S what I call comfort food

Oh my god. This method of cooking buckwheat is simply amazing. My husband always complained that no matter what he did it turned out mushy and overcooked. I showed him your video and he decided to give it another shot. Well he was so happy that it was perfect. We thank you for your grandma’s recipe and will thanks her every time we eat it. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing

I’ve been making buckwheat wrong for years. This is the way to make buckwheat. You just can’t go wrong with her recipes. Practically fool proof

Finally, a good instructional guide to cooking buckwheat! Thank you.

I'm half russian and always called it greishka. Kasha for the oatmeal porages but I also thought babushka was my grandma's name! 😆 Thanks for this recipe, will try it soon!

Well cuddled buckwheat! Thank you so much for making this video.

I use a slightly wet kitchen towel at the final process to cover it, and it works also like a charm. I do this with Basmati rice as well, the result is just awesome.

This worked for me, I'm eating it now! I had the same trouble mentioned below, that it tends to turn out mushy. Happened to have a Japanese thermal pot, which is an insulated thing to cook in. This seemed like a perfect job for thermal pot, and it was! SO, boil as you said for five minutes, put cooking pot in the insulated shell, and go do some errands. This is so nice for forgetful old guy like me because it's impossible to BURN anything, since there's no heater in the pot. Came out very nice and just like in the pictures, and I'm now eating with a fried egg and some quickly improvised gravy on top. It's good with butter, it's very good with gravy!!! It's good for bachelors, because leftovers don't seem to spoil, and it reheats nicely!

I can not thank you enough for sharing this method!! This is my second attempt and it turned out PERFECT! The first time using a different method, it turned into a mushy porridge and I was devastated. Thank you again, this is a game changer! God Bless 😊💗

Cant wait to wrap my buckwheat baby in a blanket. I shall use this method 💖. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this tutorial! My Russian teacher made kasha for us at one of the student parties, and it was the best thing I have ever tasted. She gave me a small bag of buckwheat to take home and prepare for myself, but I've been afraid to try. I'm going to try to recreate her recipe tonight, каша с луками и грибами! 😊

Thanks your grandmothers wisdom and you to 🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️❤❤

Wrapped in blanket. Timer set. Thank you. God bless you and you're Grandmother 💕

I always make buckwheat like rice, 2/1 water/bw, add ghee and salt,bring to boil, simmer 20 min. It’s ok. I can’t wait to try your Grandma’s way of cooking it! It looks sooo good! Thank you!

Perfectly simple and delicious :-)) Thank you.

Love your grandma's recipe for a healthy delicious food...Love are Beautiful Moms & Grandma's❤

Thanks a lot for conveying your knowledge! I have a new favourite meal. I love how versatil it is.

This is a great way to cook to save fuel, better for environment, economical, and good to know in case of emergencies. Buckwheat is nutritious and always good to have on hand as emergency food. Thank you for sharing, I will try it :)

Every time I want to cook buckweat, I always go back to this video and follow everything step by step. 😂 Its the best method ever and my buckweat always comes out delicious!! Thank you!!

I had kasha at a Belorussian friend's house and we had it with Cholula hot sauce. Very good.

Great video! My mother used to make this for my father but he'd put a fried egg on top.

I have struggled for year cooking buckwheat. This has been the best instructions ever. I followed your clear recipe and I must say my buckwheat was delicious, thank you👏👏👏

I love it as a side. But sometimes I like it with some mushroom gravy or I throw in some bacon and parsley or grate a bit of Parmesan cheese if it the end of the week and I try and use up what’s left in my fridge or pantry. I love all you can do with it.

This is by far the best recipe. Thank you for sharing this and helping bring a healthy and delicious food into people's homes around the world.

Old school, how my Oma and mom kept dinner warm before serving 👍👍

Very affordable too! Great rice replacement since brown rice is too hard for me. And I’m Asian!

Natashenka, thank you so much for this amazing and really easy way of cooking buckwheat. You are truly a treasure. Special thanks to your grandma. God Bless.

Excellent recipe. I came up with something interesting: knowing that soaking beans in salted water makes the skin more elastic and therefore, able to absorb more water, I soaked 1 cup of kasha in salted water overnight, drained it, then microwaved for 4 minutes. Lo and behold -- very fluffy and large grains. Highly recommended.

I am definently going to try this!

Thank for your grandmother’s great buckwheat recipe, now I know how to cook buckwheat many thanks grandma and I subscribed to your channel.

I always come back to your videos when I forget how to make buckwheat 😅, and it reminds me of family when my mom used to cook back in the days. Thank you for keeping it short and simple. ❤

So.. wait.. buckwheat is not a grain ? That was actually new for me ! Thank you for the presentation. It's funny how my own ancestors (Netherlands) would have eaten breakfast consisting of buckwheat or rye bread, porridge (similar to kasha) or pancakes until it got replaced with cheap and plentiful supplies of Polish, Russian and Baltic wheat from the 17th century onwards (in the countryside buckwheat and rye remained the norm until the early 20th century).

this is my Mom's way of boiling buckwead, mine- steam it with a bit of butter, it's so nice

I always overcook it. Thank you for explaining the method and ratios. This is perfect!

Great video of making buckwheat food

Thank you so much for you video! Just bought some buckwheat and will cook it for the first time ever. I knew Russians and Poles had this nutrient-strong dish called Kasha. Thx to you I now know how-to!

Kasha Varnishkes (with noodles) is great. We don't wash the buckwheat but rather we toast it and then add an egg. Mix it till the buckwheat absorbs all the egg and is dry again. Then add liquid (broth or water). Then let it steam on a low flame until all the liquid is absorbed. That said I think I might this simple method.

After buying Kasha from my local Assyrian store, i am hooked for life. The taste is insane and i could never eat a little!!

I'm trying buckwheat for the first time. This was such an easy recipe to follow. I made it as a hot cereal with prune puree, apples, and ground flaxseed. Thank you for posting it.

Good work for making this video for kasha/buckwheat

I have always made mine as a dinner with carrot, onion and a bit a ground beef or ground pork with a bay leaf or two added during boiling. I do really like your grandmothers method of only boiling for 5 minutes and wrapping in a blanket. I get that works super well.

Can't wait to try it!! 🙂

I love this, it is so versatile you can eat it with pretty much everything.🙂

I just tried out your recipe for my first time ever cooking buckwheat - it turned out great! Thank you for sharing. It is delicious and I am so surprised how much just 1 cup makes. I seemed enough to feed an entire family! :D

Like if you watch this while eating buckwheat lmao i love cooking something, and when eating, i watch videos of how other people cook it, so that i learn every tiny detail i can to cook every recipe to perfection. Now, at the age of just 23 i've learned SO MUCH just from such youtube channels like this one :)

I´m sure this is all very good advice. But I just poure 1 part of buckwheat and 2 parts of water in a bowl, put a lid on and cook it in the microwave or the rice cooker for 20 minutes. Nothing more, and I love it.

Wow! I haven't used this method for cooking. We have been cooking buckwheat for ages with lots of veggies

My FAVE. I love it with mushrooms and sznycel.

Just perfect, I love ❤️ ur grandmother

Dam she made it perfect

Never ever tried whole buckwheat...must try.. Thanks for sharing..💝💐

I'm looking to add buckwheat to our regular diet and looking for how to prepare it. This is the first video I watched and for sure I am going to do this to cook it because my children will think I am bizarre. Thanks for sharing!

Really good video tastes as good as my grandmother used to make it! Great video

master tactic it is...thx for sharing

My buckwheats never look as good as this lol I’m going to try it

This looks very nice :) I want some

I followed your recipe, it is so so so delicious! Thank you Natassja

Lovely! Buckwheat is one of my favourites! ❤

Buckwheat and cottage cheese is my second favorite food after fast food. A great way to start eating more healthy!

*Buckweat & Grand Ma are rocking*

i love mine with salt! perfect looking buckwheat btw.

Thank you for sharing very informative"

Perfect!

These are the best instructions for kasha, thank you. Also, you have the most pleasant voice

Amazing Video about Buckwheat , i mean , easy explained and Well Done =)

Subscribed, wonderful channel! I really love Beef Kascha, I have started adding hemp seed hearts to mine as well as dark buckwheat, its even more nutrient dense, and adds a wonderful flavor. I strongly suggest trying it sometime!

It does taste so much better with sunflower oil. ❤️

Good way to slow cook grains and save energy with the aluminum foil & blanket

Looks delicious and I'm ordering 5 pounds God bless you

I love buckwheat. I love your accent. Im going to be buckwheat farmer king 👑 I feed as many as possible. Very good food. I soak overnight eat as is

I will try your recipe tomorrow...I'll surely love it! By the way, lovely spoon...not from mac donald for sure!!!

Thank you! 🙏

Hola!!! Soy de la de Ciudad de México y me gustaría conocer más recetas. Saludos!!!!

Very helpful for Great Lent

My mother used the blanket method to save bottled propane gas. I just boil it until it is nearly ready on low flame, so it doesn't run away, thoroughly mix with butter, boil a bit more, and then let it sit on the stove for a few minutes to cool down slightly. The pot I use is thick and has a good heat capacity. All kashas are good with butter and milk. I've eaten a liquid milk "soup" in a hospital, but haven't cooked it myself, because I cook rice or oats if I have milk. I love drinking milk with it. Mother thought adding milk to it was foreign and wrong.

thank you Nastya!

Amazing thank you!!

Americans eat this with pure honey Pour some honey on, mix it around & mmm boy is it good! I haven't had it since I lived in New York. Chip made it for me. She said it was a complete food. Whatever that means? Now I know how to make it. Thanks

Gamma learned from her Grandma, it was pass along for Centuries. Is a Family Secret Recipe being share. If it work for 1,000 years why change it. Thank you Naty.

I love kasha varnishkes

"Cuddled", who knew?! LOL! "YUM"!

Прекрасный рецепт.

Hello Nastassjacancook! I am very fond of buckwheat flour dish! And I have never eaten buckwheat flour food in your country (^ ^) I was hungry when I saw your videos! Thank you for a wonderful movie (^ ^)

красивый!

Thank you so much

Thank you!

Spasiva bolshoi. I remember my hostel days in St. Petersburg in 1990s.

I have heard so many good things about Kasha, but the world of buck wheat is new to me. The nutrient value have me convinced. Im just wondering if you can describe the flavour or maybe a comparison to another food. I still have a family to convince!! am

I tried this method of cooking buckwheat for the first time, it turned out perfect! But it did turn out too salty for me so I will be adjusting that!

thankyou so perfect

A simple lifehack to cooking buckwheat definitely without losing any of the nutrients it contains - just add some room temperature water in the proportion mentioned in this video to a washed portion of grains, close the pot and leave it for 3-4 hours (can leave it overnight). The result's gonna be pretty much the same as in the vid, though, not hot and without spices, but this can be fixed easily.

Thank you.

What can you recommend for Orthodox Lent since we cannot use butter or oil?

My husband loves making your buckwheat recipe it turns out amazing every time, by any chance do you have a video or recipes for buckwheat porridge I would really appreciate it especially since it’s so nutritious and low carb. Thanks in advance and warm greetings from Canada

Thank you 🙏😊

I chuckled when you put it in a blanket but hey if it turns out yummy who cares

Thanks for the video. If you have buckwheat left over, can you heat it up again to eat it later in the day? Or just eat it cold?

How long do you toast the buckwheat, if you do toast it? Do you buy it pre toasted? It looks pretty brown in the video

Thank you

Hi from Ireland. I have never eaten buckwheat in my entire life. This looks very delicious. I will try cooking this dish and eat it. How long can packed dry buckwheat stay fresh on shelves?
