Nauryz kozhe (Kazakh: наурыз көже; Kyrgyz: нооруз көже) is a Kazakh/Kyrgyz drink of milk, horse meat, salt, kashk and grains.[2][3]

On Nauryz (Nooruz), the Kazakh and the Kyrgyz start the new year with this drink for good luck because it is considered a symbol of wealth and richness in the coming year.[4] It consists of seven food elements, such as milk, meat, oil, millet, rice, raisins, corn (the recipe can vary).
