Pelmeni (Börekli çorba) are dumplings with a filling wrapped in thin, unleavened dough that originated in Russia. The dish is popular among Turkmen and has quickly become a Turkmen supper.
The soup with Turkmen dumplings is particularly flavorful and spicy. Dumplings are prepared in a vegetable broth with govurdak (meat) and veggies. This delicious soup is accompanied with süzme (strained yogurt). It's great as a starter, but it's also good as a main dish.
