What does KASHA mean in Scrabble?
noun
Cooked buckwheat groats, eaten as a side dish or breakfast cereal, especially in Eastern European cooking.
Kasha is made by roasting hulled buckwheat groats and then simmering them in water or broth until tender, producing a nutty, slightly bitter grain dish. It is a staple of Russian, Polish and Jewish home cooking, served plain with butter, mixed with fried onions, or combined with bow-tie pasta in the classic dish kasha varnishkes. Although the word is sometimes used loosely for other cooked grains in translation, kasha in English almost always means the buckwheat version.
