How to make it

5 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  2. Gradually add the trahanas while stirring constantly

    Gradually add the trahanas while stirring constantly to prevent clumping.

  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the trahanas is soft and the soup has thickened. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom.

A little kitchen wisdom

Traditional trahanas can be 'sour' (made with fermented milk/yogurt) or 'sweet' (made with fresh milk). Sour trahanas is most common for this soup style. For extra richness, whisk an egg with a little lemon juice and stir it in at the very end.
