Dograma

Dograma is a Turkmen comfort food that you won't find in any other Asian country's cuisine. This traditional Turkmen meal has a long history that may be traced back to sacrifice rites and rituals. It is still revered and cooked by Turkmens on special events, weddings, and religious holidays such as Kurban Bayrami.

Fresh lamb, onion, and dry flatbread "dograma chorek" or "petir" are the main ingredients. The bread is baked in tamdyr ovens, and the lamb is prepared separately. The bread is then cut into little pieces and mixed with slices of onion and shredded meat, a task that frequently includes the entire family, with neighbors invited as well. Finally, each guest's dograma is scooped into a bowl and coated in boiling broth.

It can be seasoned with black pepper if you like it spicy.
