Samsa

In Uzbek cuisine, somsa is mainly prepared in a round shape, closed in the oven. Nowadays, they are also cooked in triangular and square shapes in gas ovens. To prepare somsa, dough is made from wheat flour and jilt is made. Somsa is often served with vinegar and tomato sauce, and Jizzakh somsa is sprinkled with vegetable oil. Just as hot dogs are sold on the streets of European countries, somsa is closed in portable ovens and sold on the streets and markets in the residential areas of countries such as Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tatarstan, and Kyrgyzstan. For some types of somsa, where meat is used, the dough is made with raised and sometimes unraised dough, sprinkled with namakob on the heated oven (in some cases, the oven is greased) before being put in the oven. Depending on the ingredients of the somsa, there are different types of somsa in the farm, such as somsa with meat, leafy somsa, blue somsa, pumpkin somsa, mint somsa, and potato somsa.
