How my mom cooks KESPE (Kazakh noodles). My favourite and so DELICIOUS 🤤

meat

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than beef.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthy fats and is often more nutritious.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: yams

Sweet potatoes offer more vitamins and fiber.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

Mix flour and salt in a bowl.

Gradually add water and knead until smooth.

Let the dough rest for 20 minutes.

Peel and boil potatoes until tender, then mash.

Sauté onions in butter until golden.

Combine mashed potatoes, sautéed onions, and season with salt and pepper.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface.

Cut the dough into circles.

Place a spoonful of filling on each circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and seal the edges.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot.

Add the kespe and cook until they float, about 5-7 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Serve hot, garnished with dill and garlic.
