Preparazione

Bring 1 L of the water to a boil in a heavy pot with the salt.
Whisk the flour with the remaining cold water until smooth, then pour it into the boiling water while stirring.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a stiff, smooth porridge.
Lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring often so it does not scorch.
Turn the hot asida onto a platter and shape it into a smooth mound with a well in the center.
Melt the ghee, pour it into the well with the honey, and serve immediately.
