Chuchvara is found in the cuisines of Central Asian countries and Azerbaijan. In essence, they are the same as Russian pelmeni, only without pork and half the size - or even very small. Minced meat, as in other Central Asian ideas on the theme of pelmeni, is used chopped , often cumin or caraway seeds are added to it. Chuchvara is boiled in a fragrant lamb broth and served in it, seasoned with ayran, vinegar or a sauce of hot peppers and tomatoes. Less often, chuchvara is fried.
