Recipes with step-by-step instructions

Curry is not just a spice: it is also the name for all dishes made with it. One of the varieties of curry is vindaloo, and it differs from all other variations by the presence of pork marinated in vinegar (an idea from Portuguese sailors). Vindaloo is also eaten in Britain, where it is made very spicy - although excessive spiciness is not typical for Goan cuisine.

Tatar classics: chak-chak.

Red curry is a spicy soup made with coconut milk. For an authentic Thai flavor, look for kaffir lime leaves, Thai eggplant, and fish sauce. The dish is spicy and flavorful - very Thai.

Shangi are northern open pies. They are prepared in Karelia, the Middle Urals, and the Komi Republic. They are maximally open: the filling is placed on a base of unleavened dough, nothing needs to be pinched, and the design also does not include sides . Mashed potatoes are probably the best filling for shangi - since the filling is placed on top of the base, it should be thick and dense enough so as not to spread during cooking. After baking, shangi are well greased with melted butter or sour cream, and can be eaten with sour milk, and with shchi, and just like that, with tea.

Of course it's correct, tapaka, but that's just the way it is and it's taken root.
