Discover Turkmen cuisine — dograma, palaw, ichlekli, gutap, and the nomadic Central-Asian desert-and-steppe table.
1 recipes
Turkmen cuisine is Central Asian fare shaped by a nomadic desert heritage, built on mutton, wheat, rice, and dairy. Dograma (a torn-bread, meat and onion dish for festivals) is distinctive; palaw (the Turkmen plov), ichlekli (a baked meat-filled pastry), gutap (fried turnovers), and chorba soups anchor the canon. Camel milk (chal) and the central role of bread (çörek) distinguish it from neighbouring Uzbek/Tajik cooking.
