📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Tuxum barak means 'egg dumplings' and is a rare dish made only in Khorezm. A liquid filling of milk and egg is poured into thin dough pockets, which are sealed and boiled. Wrapping a liquid takes real skill, and they're eaten with yogurt or melted butter.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Khiva home kitchen, women sit knee to knee pouring egg mixture into dough pockets and quickly pinching them shut without spilling a drop.
