Recipe #322 in my 1926 cookbook Vārīšanas un cepšanas māksla is šokolādes ķīselis (chocolate kissel). The recipe goes like this: “boil 1 stops* of water with 1/2 pod of vanilla, add 4 spoons of cocoa, bring to a boil, add sugar. Dissolve 3-4 spoons of potato flour into a 1/2 glass of water, add slowly while stirring. Serve with vanilla sauce”.
