Simple recipe for chebureks
Description
Chebureki are most commonly made with a meat filling, but this is by no means the only filling option. Among vegetarians, vegetable chebureki with cheese and herbs are popular. Chebureki should be served immediately after frying, so that the dough remains crispy and the filling stays juicy. They can be served with tea or coffee.
