Muhlama, also referred to as "mihlama", is a similar dish.[4]

The Pontic Greeks, who originate from the Black Sea region, make a dish similar to kuymak; theirs is called havítz (pnt). Havítz, like kuymak, is made with butter, cornmeal, cheese, water or milk, and salt. It might also include yogurt, honey, or bacon.[5][6][7][8] Cooked cornmeal sometimes goes by the same name.[9]
