Tajik Qurutob

Tajik qurutob is a light, hearty dish. Tajik qurutob is a dish quite unlike anything in our cuisine. I made it for the first time and had real doubts about the combination of ingredients. But it turned out my doubts were misplaced - the dish has been proven over many generations. I think it'll suit anyone looking to lose weight: everything seems light, yet it's very filling. And you don't feel like eating for a long time afterward. So I really recommend everyone try it - I loved it! Happy culinary surprises!

Cooking method

Cooking time: 15 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    For this dish, unusual in central Russia, gather farmer's cheese, milk, butter, a Tajik flatbread (luckily they're sold everywhere now), tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, salt, and ground black pepper.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    It's better to use very soft farmer's cheese; otherwise you'll have to blend it so there are no grains at all. So, mash the farmer's cheese with the milk. This will be the first layer of the qurutob.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Break off a piece of flatbread and tear it into medium pieces (so each fits in your mouth). Dip one edge into the milk-mashed farmer's cheese. Lay the flatbread pieces as the second layer.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Now cut a fresh cucumber into medium cubes - this will be the next layer.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Add the diced tomato the same way - I had doubts about this combination and added a little less tomato. Salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Now generously sprinkle with fresh herbs (this can be green onion, parsley, cilantro). I have a layer of parsley.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Melt the butter and pour it over the whole assembly in a thin stream. That's it! Very interesting, delicious, and wholesome! Give it a try!

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8
