Pour caviar into cooked dishes and add salt. Salt should be used coarse, as it takes moisture well. A couple of spoons per kilogram of caviar will be enough. Mix the eggs with your hands. Metal spoons and other things do not need to be used. I remember all the caviar. To add extra flavor, you can add vegetable oil. How much is to your taste.
