butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier and adds a distinct flavor.

meat

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken

Tofu is a plant-based alternative, while chicken is often less expensive.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Mix flour, water, salt, and yeast in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Roll out the dough into thin rounds, about the size of a plate.

Spread sour cream evenly over half of each round.

Top with finely chopped onions, diced potatoes, and cooked meat.

Sprinkle with herbs and spices for flavor.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape, sealing the edges tightly.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add butter or oil.

Cook each Qurutab for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove from skillet and let cool slightly before serving.

Serve warm with additional sour cream or yogurt on the side.
