kuvaahtu

Kuvaahtu is a traditional Finnish dish that is often served as a side dish or a main course. It is a type of fish stew, typically made with whitefish, such as perch or pike, but other types of fish can also be used. The dish is characterized by its creamy texture, which is achieved by using a combination of milk and flour as a thickener.

The preparation of kuvaahtu begins with cooking the fish in a pot with water, onions, and sometimes potatoes. After the fish is cooked, the liquid is strained, and the fish is removed. The strained liquid is then mixed with milk and flour to create a thick sauce. The fish is then returned to the pot and cooked in the sauce until it is tender. The dish is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and sometimes dill or other herbs.

Kuvaahtu is often served with boiled potatoes, rice, or bread. It is a popular dish in Finland and is often served at family gatherings and special occasions. The dish is also popular in other Nordic countries, where it is known by similar names, such as "fiskesuppe" in Norway and "fiskesuppe" in Sweden.
