Cuisine

Malay, an indispensable dish on tables in the Kilimli district on the Black Sea coast, is made by slowly adding corn flour to boiling water and constantly stirring it with a wooden spoon. The thickened dough is poured onto a plate and served with melted butter, crushed walnuts, or powdered sugar. You can review the local restaurants in the Map section to see how this energetic dish is prepared.

This dish, preferred by mine workers for breakfast due to its filling properties, shows similarities to other porridge-like dishes across Türkiye, but stands out with local butter.
