Hearty dish from Tatar culinary experts: recipe for kystybai with potatoes

One of the hearty dishes of Tatar cuisine is kystybai - a fresh flatbread stuffed with millet porridge or mashed potatoes. The word "kystybai" is somewhat difficult for memorization and pronunciation of those who are not native speakers of the original name, therefore the name "caste" is often found in amateur recipes and variants of search queries, which is incorrect.

Step-by-step recipe for kystybai with potatoes

Having tasted the cakes stuffed with mashed potatoes for the first time, I was delighted with the ability of Tatar chefs to turn ordinary products into such a delicious dish. The woman who treated me to the national food told me that kystybai can be made from different types of dough and with different fillings, but the potato filling is the most delicious.

Ingredients:

• 3-3.5 st. flour;
• 1 tbsp. kefir;
• 1 pinch of baking soda
• 1 kg of potatoes;
• 1/2 tbsp. milk;
• 100 g butter;
• salt.

Preparation:

1. Prepare food.

   

   To prepare kystybai, you need the most common products

2. Cut the potatoes into plates, cover with water, salt to taste and cook until tender.

   

   To cook the potatoes faster, cut the tubers into thin slices

3. Mix kefir at room temperature with soda and 1/2 tsp. salt.

4. Sift the flour and gradually add it to the kefir mixture.

   

   To make the dough more fluffy, cook it from pre-sifted flour

5. Knead the dough that does not stick to your hands, roll into a ball, leave in a warm place for 20 minutes.

6. When the potatoes are tender, drain the water and puree with milk and 100 g butter.

7. Divide the dough into 12 identical pieces, roll into balls.

   

   Blanks for flatbread should be approximately the same size

   When rolling out the dough, give the pieces as rounded as possible

9. Bake the tortillas in a hot dry skillet, 1-2 minutes on each side.

   

   As soon as the dough is covered with golden brown spots, the piece can be turned over.

10. Put the finished cakes in a pile on a dish and cover with a towel, otherwise they will quickly dry out and become brittle.

    

    To keep the tortillas soft, fold them one by one and cover with a tea towel.

11. Take one flatbread, put 2–3 tbsp in half. l. mashed potatoes.

    

    For each finished cake, you need to put a few tablespoons of the filling

12. Cover the filling with the other half of the blank. Repeat this process for all the tortillas and the remaining filling.

    Liberally grease each cake with butter
