kutilmalarini

Kutilmalarini is a traditional Uzbek dish that has been a staple in Uzbek cuisine for centuries. The name "kutilmalarini" translates to "little kutilmas" in English, referring to the small, bite-sized pieces of the dish. The primary ingredient is kutilma, which is a type of Uzbek flatbread similar to lavash but with a distinct flavor and texture. Kutilma is typically made from a simple dough of flour, water, and sometimes a bit of salt, and is cooked on a griddle until it becomes slightly charred and crispy.

The dish is prepared by cutting the kutilma into small, bite-sized pieces and then topping it with a variety of ingredients. Common toppings include sliced onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sometimes pickled vegetables. The kutilma is also often sprinkled with a mixture of chopped fresh herbs such as parsley and dill. In some variations, a thin layer of yogurt or sour cream may be added for extra flavor and creaminess.

Kutilmalarini is typically served at room temperature and is often enjoyed as a light snack or appetizer. It is a popular street food in Uzbekistan and is also commonly found in local markets and cafes. The dish is known for its simplicity and the freshness of its ingredients, making it a beloved choice for those who appreciate straightforward, flavorful food.
