Things to know about Popara Recipe
Popara is a dish made out of old bread, water, and cheese. Sounds like an unusual combination, but it is surprisingly tasty. Popara was a dish for poor people back in the old days because everyone had the ingredients necessary to make it. That’s why it was a shame to bring it out in front of your guests. Now it is almost forgotten, only the elders know how to make it. The name comes from pouring boiling water over the bread. Popara is a great dish for busy people because you can always toast the bread that you have, doesn’t matter how old it is (It shouldn’t be moldy of course!), cook it in water, and add cheese.
