Cheburek is a traditional pastry popular in many countries of the former Soviet Union, particularly in Russia, Ukraine, and Central Asia. It consists of a thin, crispy dough filled with minced meat, often mixed with onions and spices. The filled dough is then folded over and deep-fried until golden brown, creating a deliciously crunchy exterior. This savory snack is often enjoyed as street food and can be served with various sauces or dips. Cheburek is known for its rich flavor and satisfying texture, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.
