About Buryat salamat
Baikal's account describes salamat as an important Buryat dairy dish, recalled through meals with a Buryat family. This rendition uses homemade sour cream with a tang and zutaran, the roasted, ground wheat flour recommended in the recipe's notes.
The cream and toasted flour give the preparation a rich dairy flavour. Water loosens the mixture, and salt is offered as an optional addition.
Stirring produces a thick mass with separated butter and a browned crust against the pot. Salamat can be served hot or cold, either as a central dish or alongside boiled potatoes.
