Tips
Add the flour gradually and stir continuously during the initial stage. The local source documents the use of white flour but does not provide complete quantities or instructions.
Variations
This reconstruction is deliberately simple because the available source documents the dish and its main ingredient, but not a complete standardised recipe.
Storage
Preferably eat it as soon as it is prepared. Any leftovers can be cooled and stored in the refrigerator for 1 day.
