Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Shakhlet is a Tajik version of stuffed cabbage rolls, although they are quite different from our traditional ones since they are made without cabbage and resemble meatballs more than anything else. It's a very simple, filling, and extremely tasty dish. Come on in—I'll show you how to make it. The finished dish is ready to be served.
