Tajik cuisine bridges Central Asian and Persian traditions (Tajik is a Persian language), built on rice, wheat, lamb, and dairy. Qurutob (the national dish โ fatir flatbread torn into a qurut yogurt-whey sauce with onions and oil) is distinctive; osh (plov), sambusa, and shurbo soups anchor the canon. Mountain pastoral dairy (qurut dried-yogurt balls) and Persian seasoning distinguish it from Uzbek cooking.
