📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Xonim uses the same filling as manti but skips the wrapping by rolling the dough and filling together and steaming it. The thin dough is spread with filling, rolled into a log, and steamed in a kaskan, the steamer used for manti. Slicing it reveals a spiral pattern, and it's served with yogurt or tomato sauce.

🌆 Where it's eaten: In a Bukhara home, a mother rolls out dough on a big board, spreads the filling, rolls it up, and arranges the rolls in the steamer.
