Tajikistan's national dish: layered fatir flatbread under a thick kurut (dried cheese balls) sauce, topped with fried onion, fresh vegetables and herbs.

Method

Fatir: knead a stiff dough from flour and water and let it rest for 20 minutes. Roll it out thin, brush with a mixture of soft butter and melted fat-tail fat, roll it up like a log, then coil it into a snail shape and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Roll the coil out into a flatbread about 5 mm thick and fry it in a dry pan or bake it until golden on both sides.
Dissolve the kurut (dried cheese balls) in warm water, mash to a thick, creamy sauce and add salt.
Slice the onion into half rings and fry in oil until golden brown.
Cut the tomatoes and cucumber into wedges and chop the herbs.
Tear the flatbread into pieces and arrange on a large platter. Pour the kurut sauce over it, then top with the onion, vegetables and herbs. Serve immediately.
