Boorsok, Maksym and Dairy Products of Kyrgyzstan

Boorsok are pieces of dough deep-fried in oil. They are served with tea, honey or kaymak. Yeast dough is kneaded with a mixture of milk and water, left to rise for about two hours, rolled out, cut into diamonds or rectangles and fried in oil. Maksym is a lightly carbonated drink made from roasted grain (talkan). It is compared to kvass. Talkan and flour are boiled, cooled and fermented with added katyk; this takes 8–10 hours. Chalap is katyk or ayran diluted with water and salted. Kymyz is a drink made from mare's milk, drunk from May to September. Kurut are balls of salted, dried curd (syuzma). Sauces are made from it.
