Strudels with kefir

The dish is aromatic, hearty, and incredibly delicious! It's worthy of even the most festive table. You can use any meat and freely combine vegetables to your taste. We'll make the dough for the rolls with kefir—very simple, yet the result is excellent! Be sure to try making it yourself.

Step 6
Roll out the dough on a greased surface into a rectangle. Brush the top with oil, sprinkle lightly with salt, chopped dill, and pressed garlic. Cut the dough lengthwise into two parts, then crosswise into strips about 2-3 cm wide.

Roll each strip into a small roll and pinch the free edge. Then place the rolls upright and gently press them from the top with your hand.

By that time, the meat should already be cooked. The liquid should have completely evaporated, and the pieces should be slightly browned.

Then, place the potato cut into thick strips on top. Do not mix further at this stage.

Step 14
Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, add water until it almost completely covers them, and place the dough rolls on top (the water should not cover the rolls; they will essentially be steamed). The rolls should be spaced slightly apart, as they will expand a little during cooking. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, and simmer over low heat until fully cooked. I determine doneness by checking if the potatoes are ready.

Bread is not served with the dish, as it is replaced by these very strudels. Essentially, these are steamed buns. The dish is very delicious!
