Making this dish is the quickest way to enjoy poppy seeds instantly. There’s no kneading, no waiting, just cook some noodles and combine them with ground poppy seeds and sugar (you can replace sugar with honey). Wide strip noodles (szélesmetélt) are used, this kind of pasta looks like the Italian tagliatelle. Poppy seeds need to be ground, a coffee grinder or seed grinder is a necessary equipment in this case.
