Yeah I'm biased but nothing beats my own native cuisine.

The traditional way of eating Piramech is topping it with a heaped teaspoon of sour-cream and dribbling soy sauce over it. Yum!

The Tatars national dish, Piramech.

Basically well kneeded dough, wrapped around mince meat [with onion, pepper and salt] and shallow fried in oil.

Very yum, terrible for your cholestoral levels though.

that sounds DARN good! I think I'll make it. How do you make the dough? I couldn't find any recipes on google

Google can't always come to the rescue sis.

It's hard to say because it depends on the quantity you make. Say you're cooking for 2, you will obviously use less flour and so forth.

Basically the dough consists of: flour, egg, milk and a teaspoon of. baking soda and half a tspn of salt.

The challenge however lies in kneeding the dough to just the right consistency, then rolling it out to just the right thickness and so forth. It can't be too thin, nor can it be too thick or your Piremech will not turn out right.

The easiest part is preparing the mince - basically mince beef, one onion a bit of salt and pepper, all mixed together with your hands.

For some reason, every sister of my generation is convinced only our mothers know how to do the dough properly and you will see it when you're helping them; they will always say "No, like this...no, no, not like that"

Then you need to know how to 'pinch' them into shape and how to fry them just right. Always help too, to do it in a team-like fashion.

Best part is when mummy makes it all and she serves it to you freshly fried. Alhamdulillah for mums.
