Cuisine of Tajikistan

In Tajikistan there are various types of food such:

Mantu/Sambusa: steamed dumplings or pastry filled with meat and/or vegetables
Plov/Palav: rice fried with meat, carrots, and onions
Qurutob/Qurotob: the national (vegetarian) dish is cheese dissolved in water poured over bread then fried and topped with onions
Sikhkabob: grilled mutton, pork, or chicken sometimes served with raw onions, parsley, and/or a vinegar sauce



Bread: the local bread is generally flatbread called non and is served with nearly every meal.

 From drinks  tea is the most popular drink in Tajikistan and it is difficult to go anywhere without seeing someone with a tea glass in hand. Both green and black teas are popular, but sugar is never used with tea. If you want to try out some more traditional drinks, try kefir, which is a yogurt drink or sherbets, which in Tajikistan are sweet fruit drinks. Other available beverages include juices, soft drinks, and coffee although none are as popular as tea.
