Curd-filled pastries
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The filling can be cottage cheese, young nettle, eggs, or minced meat. Kurze differ from classic dumplings or pelmeni in the way they are shaped. Dagestani housewives use a "braid" technique when shaping them. It's difficult to convey this process in photos, so I recommend watching a video tutorial on how to shape them. Otherwise, the dish is no more difficult to prepare than our pelmeni, and turns out filling and very delicious. Give it a try! The finished dish can be served at the table.
